Pete on Vertical Epic (5.10a), Holcomb Valley Pinn...


Description 

Interesting face climbing up a vertical face littered with positive holds that goes over several small roofs/overlaps to a finish up a flared corner system. It ends on a spacious ledge with anchors and great view of the surrounding area.

Perhaps the best route of it's grade at the Holcomb Valley Pinnacles.

For those so interested, here's a nod to the origin of the name Vertical Epic.


Location 

The center of three bolted routes that goes over several small roofs.


Protection 

7 bolts, ring anchors

This one could be the best 10a at HVP.

Sorry Chris for ignoring this one during the day we all ran into each other at HVP. I would love to give this one a spin! Soooooo, you're saying this one is better than 'Ricochet'?? :)
