| mid may, went into the shade at 3:20. mid december, all day sun. warm. this thing is ABSOLUTELY STELLAR!!!!! some spice and a little run. it's the desert; careful of loose rock. put up, ground up, on sight, mostly free. stepped in sling once on pitch 2 and once on pitch 3, otherwise all clean on the fa. this route is dedicated to all the average joe climbers. it is our sincere wish that as many average joes and janes as possible enjoy this route. |

| This is a bomber climb. Three pitches for the average climber. make sure to bring a few long runners and tape up the rock on the third pitch will rip up your hands if you dont. |

| Fun route! Can not believe a route like this exists in Moab. Fun, spicy and with an insane view of all of the desert. A rim route for everyone. Wish there were more of these. Good job guys.
ended up linking the first two pitches with a 70 meter rope, skipped draws, had many double length runners. not recommended, but you can rap with one 70. 3 raps. |

| Today was the first day I was able to make it back up this after we bolted the first pitch.
This is one of the more fun climbs I have done in the area. The climbing is engaging and stays a little heady with the run outs between bolts.
The 3rd pitch is the money pitch and with calcite build up climbs much like a quartzite/granite crack. The start of the 3rd pitch is run out on easy terrain to the first piece (anything from a .75 to a 1 BD) but then is run out to a bomber bolt. There is potential for a small piece in a very tiny pod about a body length above your last piece. I had a purple tcu and if you fiddled with around you could probably wiggle it in. A grey tcu or 000 C3 would definitely fit in the pod.
If you want you can sew up the rest of the pitch from the bolt to the top.
If you are in the area and looking for a cruiser with unbeatable views this is a must. |
