Description Suggest change

Easily one of the best routes of its grade in the area, if not anywhere. The climbing is varied on perfect burnished, golden rock. A lower angle but tricky start in a dihedral and a few airy moves right lead to a steep and powerful crux, which is probably technically the hardest on the route. A section of undulating, technical rock then culminates in another cruxy section before gaining the ramp at the end which might. The upper hanging ramp is easier but still engaging, high quality lower angle climbing.

Location Suggest change

Starts to the right and up the talus a bit in an obvious, eponymous cinnamon-colored groove. While another route (Shoe Phone) continues straight above, Cinnamon Groove breaks right after the first 3 bolts to a steep wall leading to the low-angled ramp above. 70m rope required for easy descent.

Protection Suggest change

Bolts, perhaps 14. Anchors at the top. Three longer slings help mediate rope drag, but are optional: where the route leaves Shoe Phone and the two bolts before/after you rock onto the slab at the very top.
