| SawtoothSean | Snowed Date Climbed: Oct 28, 2000 | |
| On the 6th pitch of the Regular it started to rain, then snow. We couldn't move another 10 feet in any direction without slipping. I had to do a running rappel to the right and managed to grab something on the swing over, before I would swing back. I set up another anchor here (with nuts etc), and did the same style swing rappel to the bushes where we could steeply scramble down in the dark and cold. Nothing like swing rappelling on gear, but we had no choice. I'm still alive. | |

| During the 70s there were approximately 7 routes put up on Slick Rock that were never reported in any climbing literature. They ranged from 5.2 to 5.10 and all were climbed clean on lead with no bolts being placed over a period of two and a half decades. What happened? | |

| Climbed the Regular route in 7 long pitches with a 70m rope. That's over 1400 feet of climbing! There are a few bolted belays just to the left of the crack. I couldn't tell if this was the Slippery Slope route or if someone just added these for the regular route. We used one of them on top of the 5th pitch. Someone also put a bolted route just to the right of the regular route, very close to the crack (<10 feet). Too bad. | |
