Giant's Marbles
The Giant’s Marbles are incredibly impressive ‐ huge boudlers with striking lines. There are 35 problems, two sport lines, and a nice crack line that takes gear well here. Bucket List, Siege of Helm’s Deep, and the sport line Skinwalker should not be missed!
Routes
| Name | Grade ↓ | Star rating | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Helm's Deep | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start on blocky quartz crystals. Climb straight up through crimps to top out above the notch on the arête. |
| Icarus | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Start on the large jug in the corridor, 7 ft up. Figure out how to get to the top of the sloping lip above. Can be done statically or
dynamically and feels like two completely different problems depending on which you choose. A sit start has also been done at
the same grade, but might only be accessible for tall folk. |
| Overpass | V5 | ⭐⭐ | Start right hand on high side pull, left hand on low side pull with thumb catch. Climb the face up to and over the first bolt of Windego. A sit start has also been done
starting on the same left hand side pull and a low right hand crimp. Both the sit and the stand start feel about V5 if you're short. The stand start will feel easier if you're tall, but the sit start feels about V5. |
| Reclined Incline | V5 | - | Climb Lookout Girl, but follow the lip all the way to top out the same as for Icarus. |
