West Face, Nuts and Bolts
« on: September 07, 2015, 03:40:58 pm »
Has anyone climbed either of these routes recently? Any beta would be appreciated, as per how to find the starts, status of belay stations, topo etc.

find but don't bump the Supertopo thread on Mt. Starr King. :)

lots of good beta on west face and nuts and bolts.


Clint has a good topo overlay that I used for nuts and bolts.  Don't traverse too much left at the roof on pitch two or you will miss the bolt above the roof.  Third pitch goes up a rib to the left of the large roof to a nice belay ledge.  From there just go up and find protection where you can.

If you look at Secor High Sierra guide, you'll notice that they have nuts and bolts in the wrong location.  It starts almost at the toe of the formation and looks to be the longest climb on starr king.

According to Clint's captions, Bob and I replaced bolts on the West Face. I recall the route finding to be a bit confusing.
