Description

This is a great climb with two distinct, steep sections. The fun begins after the third bolt. Trend left and pull over the bulge (crux). Get a no hands rest and cruise up the slab. Follow the crack system up and keep veering left. The route remains steep, but the holds are big.

Location

Park in the obvious turn-a-round after deadman's curve. Follow the established trail down to the rim. The top of Eastern Pleasures is by the farthest left tree near the canyon rim.

Rappel from the anchors or walk down the gully to the left (near the dead tree) to access the start of the climb.

Protection

Quickdraws, 10 bolts to 2 bolt anchor. Use runners/long draws after the bulge to lessen rope drag. If you're top roping or lowering to clean the route, please do so off your own quickdraws. They are easy to retrieve from the top, which is by the parking area anyway.
