On August 14, 2016 I put up a new climb "No Stairway To Heaven, Denied" (5.6-5.7) on Boulder Garden Slab. This route was done rope solo and ground-up. The route is located between "First Lead" and the newer 5.6-5.7 bolted climb that starts on a block with a tree. "No Stairway To Heaven, Denied" is two pitches (40 m and 55 m) with four bolts plus one or two 0.4 - 2.0 cam placements on the first pitch and three bolts on the second pitch. The middle bolt at the belay is bad because the carbide tip on the drill broke.

Nice Mark. Is there a natural belay for the second pitch or an anchor? Ratings for each pitch? Tx

I will send you a topo for the private section. The first pitch is 5.6-5.7. The second pitch is 5.4. The second pitch ends at two existing bolts with chains that are for another climb.

I've had a string of the Bosch carbide tips break on me this season.
Nice on the new line. I don't recall the names on BGS, is this on the right side or left side of the main formation that is close to the cars and bouldering?

It is on the left side of Boulder Garden Slab.
