Time Machine 5.11

Mountain: West
Location: Gold Mine
Area: Located between No Quarter and Lost Boys
Rope: 50m
Climate: Shady Cave

Common Start

Scramble up and onto a sharp pointed rock lodged in the base wall called the “Arrowhead”.  Traverse left on the Arrowhead and hand a ledge to access the hueco line. Follow the steep overhang on excellent huecos. At the end of the route, step off onto the opposing ledge.

Big Lunge Start – Variation

Begin at the base in the sand. Climb onto the small boulder under the crack. Gain the crack and lunge out left to the hueco pods. Then finish the traditional line to the top.

New Project

This climb ascends the hueco line to the left of Time Machine and to the right of No Quarter. Currently it’s a TR set up with a #2.5 or #3 cam for the directional and a #3 or #4 cam for the mid-section to prevent a big swing.
