This gives another moderate to climb with a few more bolts than

QYB

and

W-E

. There are a few options with the start (5.6-5.8), and the rock is very good after the 2nd bolt but a bit friable between the slab and the 2nd bolt. Hopefully it will clean up a bit. The biggest hassle is navigating to the base of these rightmost routes.

The easiest descent is to rap over to the

Webster-Ellis

anchors and then down. The second best is straight down to the overlap with a 70m rope, but you'll have to downclimb the slab. If you brought 2 ropes, you can do anything.

This is a second pitch above the

Webster-Ellis

route (I've always thought it should keep going). It's about the same rating with similar bolt spacing as the first pitch but refreshingly straight. It was bolted on lead.

The biggest challenge may be finding this rock. From Denver, go West on US Hwy 285, go South (left) on Foxton Rd, this Ts at the South Platte River, head East (left) to South Platte, then it curves South, go 3 miles. There is a prominent, large boulder across the South Platte River just North of the parking area.  Park where legal. 2 drainages can be hiked up. The North one has Atlantis Slab a short way up. Choose the South drainage. Hike 20 minutes or so. Find the South face.  Scramble up and around some boulders to find this route on the right side of the South face.

This is the left of a pair of more bolted, slab routes. Do some moderate climbing using smears and edges up past 6 bolts which appear to be 5/16". It is pleasant, though fairly runout for a 5.6 leader.

Rap 160 feet.

This slab smears, clip the first bolt, find a first crux 5.9 move, clip the 2nd bolt, find a 2nd crux 5.9 move, clip the 3rd bolt.  From here you can move left up a few bolts to finish on

Beach Blanket Bingo

or continue up more moderate but much more runout slab to a 2 bolt anchor.  Some of these hangers are Leepers.

Update: given the condition of the bolts, this should be considered a toprope problem!

Rap 120 feet.

This route is on Java Dome's south face.  Find the directions to "

Vertical Beach Party

".  This route is just to the left.

Climb straight up a steep section, past 3 or 4 bolts, some old some new.  This is great high stepping and reaching on good holds.  The next sction is really cool too.  Edge delicately up a dead planar slab past decently spaced old bolts to the anchor.  This is a beautiful, flawless slab with nice edges and good rock.
