Description
If you are looking for harder trad lines in the Prescott area you have plenty of options, but don't miss out on this Joshua Tree like finger system. With sweet positioning, good gear, and quality movement, this easily accessed line is a true Prescott classic. Makes for an easy project for aspiring tradsters. Originally related 12-.
Start out on good holds/jams and climb up to a small left facing dihedral. Move up over a small bulge and you are staring down the crux. There are a handful of different ways to do this section, though it doesn't seem all that much harder than anything else on the route. After the crux, Fred keeps his eye on you and delivers more physical climbing with narry a rest to the top.
