END OF THE R O A D ROCK

END OF THE ROAD

Here's a long shot of End Of The Road Rock taken from Road 700bb looking west. The road ends right at the rock. The trail to 'THE OUTBACK' starts almost where the road ends. See the MAP on the OUTBACK PAGE for orientation.

Here's a close up of the East Face. Routes 2 and 3 are inside a hallway formed by a big, blocky, nearly detached pillar (BP).

2.) Inside Straight 9+ A great overhanging handcrack is found on the 'outside' wall of the hallway. Belay on top of the pillar on gear. Descend by walking over the top of the formation and downclimbing (arrow). (sh+ej, '93)

3.) Inside Flush 10b Another cool handcrack lies on the 'inside' wall of the hallway. The top is offwidth. (sh+ej, '93)

4.) Two Of A Kind 7 Twin handcracks on the main wall just outside the hallway. Really groovy. (sh+ej, '93)

5.) Poker Face 10c You will have a hard time keeping a straight face on this one! A real challenge, hands and mostly fist jamming up a right diagonal crackline with fantasy feet. Belay around the dicey corner just beyond where the crack ends. Take several medium large pieces (2x#3, 2x#3.5 and a 4 Camalot) to slam in plus the standard rack. TAPE UP! (sh+ej, '93)

Here's a shot of the Southeast Face. You can see the big, blocky pillar (BP) and the one line that exists here. There is another obvious line (to the left) that has reportedly been climbed, but it has yet to be confirmed.

1.) Proctologist 11c An overhanging hands, fist, stemming and lieback crack that will really take it out of you. If it doesn't, see your local proctologist to get your head examined. Big pro, bro. (S. Bradley, '92)

This is the West face, around to the left of the prominent overhanging roof. There are at least 2 routes in these 'hallways' and you have to scramble up in there to find them. Neither route sees much action due mostly to the obscure location.

6.) Woman's Work 11a Begins as fingers to off fingers to hands and ends at rap anchors. (Scarpelli and McGann, c'86)

7.) Dr. Thunder 10a A thin line that doglegs right and continues as a wider crack. Belay on gear when convenient and walk off over the top. (Kuestner et al., '90)
