NAUTILUS P R O W
NAUTILUS PROW
Here's the far east end of the Nautilus, also commonly known as the Prow. Numbers 1 and 2, not associated with the Prow, have been added for orientation purposes.
OFFWIDTH TERRITORY
BRING plenty of TAPE and BIG PRO !!
1.) The Parabolic Slab.
2.) Outrider 10a A three bolt face climb is found here.
3.) Right Parallel Space 5 Actually the start of two climbs, this one begins here. Be prepared for a wide one at a low grade, almost considered a chimney with teeth and no pro except what you bring - big stuff. Use anchors atop the huge detached flake to its west side (also used for Middle Parallel Space and Air Travel With Report).
4.) Vulture 10a Aptly named, its a big one waiting to devour you. Similar start as #3 except bear right into the hand crack. Bring Pro .
Check out what some of the seasoned hardguys have to say about this end of the Nautilus, sometimes harrowing, sometimes hilarious, but always informative ..... GO HERE.
5.) Left Torpedo Tube 10d Here's a gaping maw for the aspiring offwidther. The crux is overhanging and strenuous, however if you make it, the rest of it backs off gradually to 5.8. Bring pro up to 16".
6.) Right Torpedo Tube 11d Can you climb hard offwidth? Here's your chance to prove it. One thing you can count on, its not graded this way for nothing. This climb is the subject of some great tales.
7.) Gravity's Rainbow 11c A very difficult way to circumvent the hard start of #6. Really? There is definitely not a pot of gold where this arching crackline and undercling ends, in the Right Torpedo Tube.
8.) Grand Traverse 10c (in the shade on phototopo above) Described on Nautilus N E End.
9.) A new bolted route, details later.
DESCENTS: Rap off 2 sets of anchors on NE end as indicated on topo.
