Damon Farnum approaching the crux on Pins.

Add Photo  Add Comment    Printer View

Description 

Start in a wide, right-leaning crack, with a small seam that leads up to the left. Climb past a left-angling crack (The Power of Positive Thinking, 10) to a small pod on the right side of the crack about 1/2 way up. Reach for a good, right-facing, side pull and pull up through the blank face (crux). The second difficulty is climbing though the small edges with poor feet near the top.


Location 

This is located about eight feet right of Outside Corner.


Protection 

Small gear if leading, belay/TR anchors on top.

Good lead, and there's a bomber placement for that 00 Metolius that you haven't used in months up there! Pro is kinda tricky up top though....
