Room To Shroom

Oak Tree Arete

Chemical Warfare

Mud Dog

Refer to Room To Shroom description for approach information.  Start 50' uphill (left) of 'Shroom.  Gain finger/hand crack by bouldering up 8' (poor landing - ankle breaker).  Move right along finger crack and finish as for Room To Shroom.  Descend as for 'Shroom.

This is the rappel line off of the Room to Shroom formation. Ascend a face to a large quartzite/fool's gold intrusion. Climb either left, right or straight past this then continue to the top, avoiding the crack of Mud Dog.

A personal favorite. Perfect hands to fist crack. At the crack's high point, step up and right and move 20' across (mostly) unprotectable face to belay from Pinyon pine. A small stopper placement early in the traverse helps to protect both leader and follower.

Approach: From Barker Dam parking lot, follow trail to dam and continue north through wash. Bear northwest (left) past Escape Rock. The Room To Shroom formation will be on your right, but hidden until you pass it and look back. Scramble up rocks to get to base of route.

Descent: Single rope rappel to ground from bolted anchor.

Toprope the blunt arete just right of the start of Room To Shroom.

Not a great route, but not a complete waste of time either. The line is on the S. Face of the Room To Shroom rock and may be a diversion to climb prior to the sun hitting the W. Face and the main attractions here.

Climb up to reach a crack that becomes a shallow left-facing corner and follow it to the standard rap station. Alternatively, the route may also be a quick TR after doing one of the more popular routes. This line does have a little scaly rock, but it's not as bad as the name might imply.

The route is visible as the shaded corner on the right-hand side of the rock in the attached picture, but this shot, although showing the line, does little to describe it.
