Deep Creek Link ups.






































Deep Creek Link ups.
  
Here are the routes:

1.  Russian Arete 13b

2.  It's Like that 13a.  Starts on Bitten(route 3 and finishes where the climber is in the pic.  Spencer Davey put it up a few years ago.  4 star route, very pumpy, cool holds.

2A.  Quasi Arete 13c.  Climb up its like that through the first boulder problem then trend right out onto Russian Arete.  Do the crux of Russian Arete but instead of clipping the chains, head right and finish on It's like that.

3.  The Bitten 13a.  Climb through the left trending dihedral then trend right.

3B.  Spineless 12c.  Start up the Bitten and through the left trending dihedral.  Instead of heading right, head left and finish on Spineless.

4.  Be Like Mike (Progressive Discipline) 14a/b  Mike Mclure.  12c to V11 finishes with the Bitten crux.

4c-a.  Big Gay Link. Gay Brian Raymon FA.  Starts on Mike through the 12c then heads left through the first crux of It's Like That then over and finish the rest of Quasi Arete.  You'll probably want to have climbed the rest of the cliff out before you go to the trouble of this one.

4D and C.  Do the first 30ft of Be Like Mike (12c or so) then finish on Bitten, or Left Bleeding.  13a or b, you can pick.  I'd go low since it's just training at this point.

5.  Quiver 13c one of the best routes here.

6.  Jeff Crawford bolted this new route not in my book.  I think it's 10c and starts just left of the bitten on big features.  Supposed to be good but I just haven't been on it yet.

7.  Left Bleeding 13a

Goldfish 13b.  Starts on Mike and finishes on I'ts like that, doing all the cruxes along the way.  Goldfish, It's Like That, and Spineless are names that are all the result of two young friends turning hateful  to one another over the love of a woman.  Future young men, trust me on this, BRO'S BEFORE HOES.
