Climbing is currently allowed in Last Chance Canyon. Continued access is everyones responsibility. MORE INFO >>> The Lincoln National Forest Service continues its ban on bolting new routes (or, by permission only). However, climbing is currently allowed in all areas of Last Chance Canyon. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Climb up on good pockets. The bulge presents the greatest obstacle to sending. I worked left of the bolt line on thin feet, hips dipped in, worked the thin holds back right to get the clipping hold, followed by less desperate climbing with better holds as the angle eases somewhat.

Location 

First route on the wall. Small trail cleared leads to the right, all others are to the left.

Protection 

Bolts, Chains

Fire Damage 

The fire left this route covered in ashes, and was very dusty during my attempt. I think John and Carrol ran a brush over it awhile back. So it should be cleaner now, and more sendable, as my partner thought this was 5.12/11d ish.
