    About

    Bioturbation is a 5.11- YDS trad, 60 ft (18 m) located in Grand Junction > Grand Mesa > Land's End Area > Paleosol Wall. First ascent by Garhart, October 2012. This route is a variation of Topographic Reversal. Climb the 1st 35 feet of Topographic Reversal up to the hands roof, and traverse left using a tips crack (red C3) and slabby feet to a 1.0-1.5" splitter through the roof. The splitter protects well with #0.5 Camalots. Work your feet up, reach out to an unlikely jug at the lip of the roof, and climb the jugs above to a 2 bolt anchor. This might feel a little stiff if you're short. Protection: This route shares its start with Topographic Reversal on the left side of the wall. See the beta photo on the main page.
