http://www.bradshawclimbing.com/Bradshaw_Climbing/Combat_Rock.html These are photos from a trip to Combat Rock that EJ and I took during the Labor Day weekend. We both took a lead on Rambo Santa using the bolts and four or five pieces of trad gear. We both found Rambo Santa a reasonable 5.7 lead with the added security of bolts. After climbing ‘Santa’ EJ and I each took a couple of turns on Arkansas Patriot (5.9+). This was a funky route with microscopic holds that went (to me) a lot harder than 5.9+. Mountain Project has it rated as 5.10a and both EJ and I agree. We also toproped a cool little route left of Arkansas Patriot that starts with a lieback that we felt went at about 5.8. We saw chalk on some of the holds so we weren’t pioneers but definitely a route worth doing if you’re using the anchors on ‘Patriot’. http://www.bradshawclimbing.com/Bradshaw_Climbing/Combat_Rock.html#0 adccfab6-790d-4132-8d8f-ba46af9af912 http://www.bradshawclimbing.com/Bradshaw_Climbing/Combat_Rock_files/Media/DSCN0068.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.bradshawclimbing.com/Bradshaw_Climbing/Combat_Rock_files/Media/DSCN0068.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px;
