Kipp Schorr on 'Serengeti'
Add Photo  Printer View
Description A brilliant line and one of the best moderates in the canyon.
Start on the undercling/sidepull fin on the left side of the overhanging face. Move up and right on sloped dishes up to a move off a high left-hand crimp to a sloper (crux). Gain the 'Africa Flake' (jugs/rest) and find nice positive pockets and edges to the top as the angle eases off.
Location Southeast face of the 'Serengeti Boulder', the first obvious boulder problem you see while approaching. Look for the Africa-shaped flake about 10 feet off the ground. This boulder problem faces down-canyon.

| A great problem. On busy weekends the crimps at the crux will get caked in chalk, so bring a brush - a soft one! |

| Two ways to do this one. If you're short the beta is harder than the tall person possibility. I did it both ways and found the way that bypasses the bad crimps easier by a grade at least. |

| Why is every flake found on a climbing route called either the Africa flake or the Texas flake? Doesn't mother nature ever make any other shapes? |

| I wanna see some Rorschach flakes!
Edit: screw that, I wanna see some Pangaea/Gondwanaland flakes, come to think of it. |

| yeah, ditto Jason's comment. This line is o.k., but it's not as good as many other moderates. Mr. Witty, Atari, Rene, Will's Arete, and the Gleaner are all better lines IMO. |
