Description
Get into the alcove on the southeast face of Parachute (see Alcove 5.9 route for directions). True Religion starts at the climbers right corner of the angled slab out of the alcove. It is about 15 feet of true 5.10c where you lay back and smear with the feet up the slightly overhanging corner crack. It is an amazing finger crack and feels totally solid with good depth and a sharp corner. The scary part for me was the feet at the exit of the overhang onto the main southeast face. Once on the face it follows the hand and finger crack ~5.9 up to where all the southeast face pitches end, at the second pitch that takes you up to the top of Parachute.
Pitch 2 starts left of the corner between the south face and the southeast face.
