Echo Canyon topos - Prospect & Where the Wild Things Are
Submitted by Chris.Perry on Wed, 12/12/2012 - 21:07A year or so back, Greg Tos added a new multi-pitch sport route to the right of Prospect. It is 3 pitches long - 5.11a, 5.11a and 5.12a. The last pitch can be made easier by doing one A0 move. A topo of it, and Prospect is attached.

Prospect (Echo Canyon, Grotto Mountain)
Submitted by jon on Wed, 06/16/2010 - 20:09A 4-pitch sport route (10b/c ish) about 15 minutes uphill from The Hideaway, between Echo Cave to its left and The Lookout to its right. Catches the sun for most of the day, so it might be possible to climb here on a warm winter day (but could be uncomfortably warm on a hot summer day).
For how to get to The Hideaway see:

Echo Canyon: The Coliseum
Submitted by jon on Tue, 07/14/2009 - 21:052009 era notes:The Coliseum is significant new sport climbing area on Grotto Mountain that has beenunder development since spring 2005. It is located in the large canyon west of Bataan, aone hour hike from the Alpine Club of Canada. Currently there are a dozen or so routes that range in length from 12m to 45m. Yes, 45m. The grade spread is from 11a to 13d. The crag consists of three different sectors that vary greatly in character. The Saddle-up sector is long, steep endurance climbing that feels more adventurous than the average sport crag.
