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 

Pull the bouldery start on tweaky two finger pockets and chossy crimps past the first two bolts to a nice rail rest. Pull onto the rail passing the third bolt and the awkwardly placed fourth bolt and a nice rest ledge. Seemed easiest to pass the fourth bolt before clipping it.

Get a nice rest and continue up on very thin ground on thin crimps and crumbly sidepulls past 3 closely spaced bolts to the anchors. This part climbed more like Shelf Road than typical LCC climbing.

Location 

Between "Rattlesnake" and an unknown 12b. Third route past the Salad boulder.

Protection 

7 Bolts to Anchors, Stickclip for the first bolt. The anchor is in bad need of chains, currently consisting of two rap hangers positioned a foot apart vertically.
