Was climbing with some of the other folks for the "first day of the season" this weekend, and we were up at scarface for a quick couple laps before our return to slc. Hopped on "Silcilian" and noticed something odd...the starting block had tipped over, no more quick fingers to a nice rest, the route is probably more like 12- now, get out there and get it!

Missing block

I can't tell scale. Is that the size of a house, car or a hand?

body length and a half?

Body length and a half, usually you place a piece then finger lock/high step and then the said block has a nice little 2 inch ledge to rest on

Edit: so maybe a fridge sized block

I never liked the start of this climb... The gear was shit & the jams were funky ... Can't wait to give it a go...

Bummer!! I almost redpointed that thing.

This is the only photo on MP that shows the start:



Kind of hard to tell but it looks like a really wide flake on the main wall sheared off?
