the traverse.


Description 

The best traverse (really the only traverse that gets done) at Kelly Canyon. Very steep, but secure pulls out the overhang lead to pumpy, increasingly difficult sloper and crimp moves with heelhooks and bad feet, finally reaching nice pockets about halfway across. Easier moves on mostly good holds end at a jug just left of the tree. Every single move on this problem is awesome (yes really.)


Location 

Start in back of the roof on the left side of the wall, climb out and traverse right.


Protection 

A couple of pads and someone to move them and keep your head off the ground.

This is one of the more aesthetic traverses I've climbed. Well worth the hike down even if just for this problem.
