Nice work Corey! I’ve been looking at that roof forever but lacked have the vision, etc. Turning the lip looks punishing!
Do you know if anyone ever finished the “death block” project in the alcove? I know somebody worked on it but I never heard details.

Pulling over the lip is not bad. It’s the moves shown in the last 3 images that make it hard. You can skip those moves by dynoing from the sloper/pinch out to the lip. But, that is a good 4 foot dyno on roof! Craig has spent 5ish days on it and can pull every move, but not in one run from start. He speculates very hard 13.
Is Death Block the one in the right/center with the anchors removed? If so Craig hopped on it two summers ago. It is the only “hard” line in the Alcove that he has not completed. I think it is a Mike May route?
Are you still working on that guidebook? If so when are we going to see it on the shelves? We are excited for it!!!

That “death block route” center Alcove is a line I was working on a long time ago, now that I live in Boise and my focus is on new lines at Hells canyon I have no interest in completing that route. It’s open to whomever wants to take on that challenge.

Well hi Mike. Long time no hear from. I hear that there is tons of potential in Hells Canyon. That should keep you busy for a while. Keep up the good work, I’ll have to come out and hit up your new lines some time.

Sounds good Corey, get a hold of me next time you’re in the Boise area, Hells canyon is great!!

I was in Twin Falls visiting my parents this week and thought that I would try this route. I ended up redpointing it on my 4th try on Feb 2 2010. This route is a great addition to Derkies Lake!

Sorry, no pictures of the send. Because the route is so bouldery it is hard to put a grade on it, but my best guess would be around 13a/b?
