2 New Routes - Claghorn
Beside "465 Fatman" in the 2nd Edition guidebook, we found a nice steep west-facing edgy wall and a not so nice north (read licheny) wall and corner. It involved some new bushwacking on top inspired by the incredibly looking fat off-width corner that I believe turns out to be FatMan - and Fat it is (not necessarily Phat).
Anyhow, Pushing the Limit is the first on a wall that could see some nice long intermediate sport climbs. It was virtually devoid of lichen and just needed some loose rocks to be tossed. Hope to return to bolt and mark the top next summer...
Pushing the Limit 28m 5.10 TR (potential **)
FA: Alex Joseph, Jarron Childs Jul 2004
Steep long edging on a naturally clean black face through a large horizontal ledge that thins out in the last quarter. Start to the right of the horizontal and follow up through it stepping right and then up the easiest line gradually moving left. Not completed to the top.
Horny Finger 20m 5.9 TR
FA: Jarron Childs, Alex Joseph Jul 2004
Easiest line in the last real alcove of the cliffs to the north of Fatman and Pushing the Limit (after this the cliff trees out). Up a loose and dirty corner to a nice foot ledge on the left. Then up a dirty final finger crack with some sharp well developed lichen.
