We feel that it’s important to report on changes to routes in our area, but Rupesh’s new plan is hard to picture upon a first reading…
Currently, Morcheeba is like a V10 boulder problem followed by 5.8 headwall. It would be possible & really fun to break left or right and finish on the lines flanking it.
Yes, the thought of a V10 makes us want to take a break too. Here’s the deal: Rupesh made a route called Morcheeba , sent it, and now wants to connect it to one or both of the lines next to it (there’s a horizontal roof involved so the line should be clear enough). He’ll sink two more bolts to protect these added moves, and then there’ll be a virtual helix of very difficult routes at the Insect Wall.
One other interesting note, the county doesn’t have to approve extensions or modifications to existing routes, so only RRCC approval is needed for this particular project. He got it.
