Fun With Social Distancing

Tricky opening moves lead to easier, but sustained climbing. The crux comes up high on a slab. Don’t let this move police your fun!

Must love slab! A whole lot of fun, crimpy, and sometimes insecure moves. Sustained series of 5.10- slab moves.

Another fun addition. We’ve top roped this plenty of times and decided it would make a fun lead route. Includes some high stepping, a mantle move and a fun (but short) climb through the limestone. Goes up to the obvious cave feature. Anchors are high and right and can be reached while standing in the cave (unless you're vertically challenged). There are two options through the limestone band. The left version is a bit easier. I thought it was a bit harder than Flaky Fun and Hole Lotta Fun. It depends on whether you're comfortable with mantles and high steps. In terrible style, I flopped onto the mantle like a beached whale. Fortunately, there's no video evidence so I can deny it ever happened. I hope you enjoy this new addition. Please let me know your thoughts on the grade. And let me know if you also had to flop onto the mantle! 

Great distraction if the rope is set up in-between hole lotta fun and Fun with Social Distancing

A fun 5.8/5.9 bolted route with some trad protection. Follow the holes and big steps up to a short finger-sized crack. Place a few small pieces (I placed a 0.3 BD Cam) and step up onto a small shelf/shoulder. IMPORTANT NOTE - some people get lost when they step onto the shelf because you can't see the anchor. Look for a bolt on the shelf, right and just below the limestone band. The anchor is above the limestone band just above the small bush. Work your way right, clip the last bolt and then place a small cam (or two) then head up through the limestone band. I placed a #1 BD Cam. Rap the route to get down. When rapping, be sure to stay left of the giant, spooky loose flake (see pic). If you knocked this off it would be a "belayer slayer" for sure. Unfortunately, the flake happens to be in the fall line.

Fun top rope between Fun Approach and Flaky Fun. Use the Fun Appriach anchors and head straight up the slab and up through the limestone band. Might be 5.7 or 5.8 depending on which way you go. 

Good clean rock on sustained slab leading to the anchors of Fun With Social Distancing. This route required very little cleaning compared to other routes at the fun ship.

Thin moves through the alcove leading to a tricky slab section. Shares anchors with Fun With Social Distancing.

Fun little 5.7 approach with an optional 2nd pitch of 5.10b slab climbing (listed separately). Clip bolt one on the easy slab, then step up and place a small cam to work your way through the limestone band. Head up big steps and move right past 3 bolts to anchors. Rap/lower from anchor or continue up the harder slab above. 

Another excellent moderate at the fun ship. Philosophers, academics, scholars and professors spent weeks debating the grade for flaky fun. We settled on somewhere in between 5.7 and 5.9. Get on it and decide for yourself.Passing the crux at the top of the slab leads to a limestone band. An optional .5 or a 1 camalot will slot perfectly in the band leading to a final bolt and then to lower-off's.

A excellent moderate and mega safe first lead for climbers who are trying to escape COVID-19. A crux at the midpoint leads to a mantle on the slanting dihedral. The bolts are practicing social distancing at 6 feet apart. Good Fun.Note - a couple people got on the Fun Police (5.10+) thinking they were on Fun with Social Distancing. Oops. Look carefully from the base. If it looks harden than 5.7 you're on the wrong route! Off the top three top-rope options exist (Fun TR #1-3), give them a shot!

South facing, ship-like feature with a 15 minute approach. If you hike slow! Route grades range from 5.7 to 5.10+. Most of the routes finish above the limestone band (except Fun with Social Distancing). You will want a few small to medium cams to get safely through the band. The lead routes are pretty clean but you'll want to use caution if you stray to the sides and top rope. Be sure to bring your helmet!Just a reminder that you will tear off holds if you climb this when it's not fully dry. Rule of thumb is to wait 2 full, dry days after a big rainstorm. Please respect this rule to ensure future climbers have the same holds to pull on.
