Radical Left

Description

These routes were put/cleaned up during Covid and rioting approaching the 2020 election.  They do need more cleaning.

This route is on the left side of the segment of rock buttress to the left of the "Open Book" escarpment.

The route climbs an easy angle slab with good pro at the roof.  Move to the left and follow the left trending corner system.  Runner appropriately or you will pay the rope drag tax.

This is a good beginner trad route for placing gear and being safe while learning.

This does not have bolts at the top yet, but a shared set at the top of arete of fret could be very well placed.  I cleaned out some junk for gear, but you will need to set up a TR with trad gear, or will need to walk ~20 meters back to tie off on a tree.

I cleaned this route up as an option to take my kids who are learning to climb.  Good beginner route in general!

Location

This is to the left of the obvious "Open Book" face.  Walk through Oregon Grape to get to the base.

Protection

single set of cams, nuts should suffice, though I found tricams useful as I do on many Minnehaha climbs!
