Rocket Man – 5.11b

Description:

Climb garbage rock to the ledge. The steep rock above is way better quality, leading to technical moves in the corner. Use some extended draws or alpine draws to reduce rope drag. The first ascent was protected by pins - the bolts of the early 80s in Ontario. In the nearly 40years since the FA, the pins became time bombs which all exploded in 2017.
7 bolts and Anchors.

FA: Rob Rohn, Mike Tschipper (1980-1981)

    Solid 11b for sure. Tricky crux on the onsight burn but flew through it 2nd burn. 3 stars for the start, 4star upper section for sure

    Gym like moves to a hard to see hold. Too bad the bottom half is easy choss, feels like climbing half a route but good movement. 2nd go.
