  • As for all Hellgate areas
  • Park your car off of the main canyon road.

  • Description 

    One of the best sport routes in Little Cottonwood. Starts out slabby, turns vertical and then steepens for the steepest .11 climbing I've seen anywhere.


    Location 

    The left side of the the main cave on Tower 1


    Protection 

    draws, a few long runners, 60M rope. I used a .75 camalot in the middle and its easy to place. Some might want another hand sized piece but don't make too much drag. Please wear a helmet.

    Really good. Use runners on bolts 4 and 6 to reduce drag. The .75 camalot is nice to have. The top is wild!

    Tricky exit moves figuring which way to go and not blowing the lead.

    Absolutely stunning. The adrenaline really starts at the top. The exposure is insane.
