Description A great pocketed route with lots of chalk up a slightly overhanging face. The technical crux is down low; the enduro crux is up high.
Protection The route is well bolted and has a bolted anchor.
Location This route is located on the Left Flank wall, and is the left-most route on the crag, about 20' left of a striking 5.12a arete. To reach Left Flank, take 77 East through the Nada Tunnel, then 1 more mile East to the Martin's Fork trailhead on the left. Cross the street and take the Military Wall/Left Flank trailhead, then bear left at the Y.

| It doesn't get much better than this. Incredibly enjoyable climbing the whole way. |

| if i recall, as you climb between the 5th and 6th bolts, you'll notice a hanger-less bolt. the space left between them is big (not really big enough to warrant another bolt, though), maybe 15 ft. definitely instruct your belayer on soft catches, as there is potential for swinging into the bulge down low and coming away with a damaged foot.
definitely a spectacular route. a good introduction to solid 10a climbing. |

| Great climb, but I felt that the feet were kind of tenuous. Got pumped near the top, and somehow took a 25-30 footer at the last bolt before the anchors. Super classic, just bucked me off somehow. Put me upside down and backwards. Coolest/harshest fall I've taken. The bugger. Loved the climb still. |

| One of the most fun 10's i have ever climbied. the crux is trying to figure out which pocket to grab when almost ALL of them are chalked up. enjoy! |

| The first twenty five feet of this route are so polished that they completely take the fun out of it. |

| Quite good but, for about the same grade, Boltergeist is better and more aesthetic. |

| Haha boltergeist is an entirely different climb, not to mention in an entirely different region... I am not sure why you are comparing the two, one is vertical pockets while the other one is slab.
Thats like saying "I like this climb but Rock Wars is a much better 10a." Apples to oranges. |

| OK, legit point. I seem to remember reading somewhere To Defy is considered by some as one of the best 10a in the whole of RRG. In my book, it isn't. Perhaps an over reaction on my part. |

| Wish I had lead it but it was still a great climb. Hard and pumpy the whole way up. Its a long and sustained 5.10 |
