Description Suggest change

This is one of the most infamous central Texas climbs, and rightly so. Fear of Flying is a continuous crack in a beautiful dihedral that widens up top. Most choose to lieback this beast, which makes the climbing easier, but adds an interesting challenge when placing big gear.

Location Suggest change

Once you locate the East Face of Buzzard's Roost, find the 80' most prominent dihedral rising above a large triangular block leaning against the wall.

Protection Suggest change

Crack widens significantly so bring one or two #6s for the top in addition to the range of medium to large cams needed below. There are no anchors. Bring a collection of long slings or an anchor rope to build an adequate anchor above.
