Dan on the Crux

Add Photo  Add Comment    Printer View

Note: New route moratorium area. MORE INFO >>>

Description 

A one move wonder on the far right end of the crag up the hill from Arm and Hammer (5.11b).

Start up easier rock to gain a stance, a few moves reach the crux (mostly crimps) to more moderate climbing. A few more tricky moves but for the most part the lower crux is the one to beat.

Not the best route of the grade, but on a busy day it is worth doing.


Location 

The far right hand (up the hill) line at 5.8.


Protection 

6 bolts to an anchor.

Am I missing beta or is the climb now missing a hold? This crux felt way harder than Gulliver's at Pulse which is rated 11a...

he first few time I got on it, it felt impossible to me too! Once you figure out the beta it feels right in the .10b/c range. That being said I have not climbed it this year so something could have broken on it this winter.
