Access Issue: Limited access Oct. 15-17, 2021
Details
Per Wes O'Rourke: there will be limited access October 15th-17th. The first annual True Penitence Climbing Festival will take place October 15th-17th, 2021. The festival will be reserving all campsites and parking lots at the main canyon on October 15th and 16th. Participation in all festival events will require registration for the festival. The canyon will still be open to the public for day use, but please plan accordingly, as camping is not available on site and parking will be restricted. Also, the climbing competition on Saturday the 16th will be asking the general public to yield to all competition climbers, as competing climbers will be heavily using most of the routes in the canyon. Please consider climbing elsewhere during the festival if you don't want to participate.
Description
Another overlooked Penitente classic. Unfortunately, the requirement to place a couple cams has relegated this fine route to obscurity.
The route starts in a hand crack (some poor rock), which is climbed for 20 feet until a bolt is reached and the face can be climbed. Perhaps a direct start is possible? Once on the face, long reaches between good huecos characterizes the climbing.
