Namaste 

This route does look very cool although I've only done the route on the left (does this route have a name, anyone know?). One interesting fact is that you can't establish routes on this wall from above, it's smooth and overhanging. All these routes have been established by hanging off hooks to put the bolts in.

I onsighted this climb 11/03, and even though I think it is a spectacular sport route, and would like to accept the 12a rating, I just did't think it matached up with other 12's in the area (Zion or St. George). If you have good endurance and can hold on to 10b holds for 150 feet it is all yours.

P.S. the first bolted route to the left (10a/b)is a great warm up for either Hueco's or Namaste.

You can climb this route with one 70M rope.

Again as "HR" this would be a 11+ (c/d) and NO MORE, if it were anywhere on the east. Still one of the best sport climbs in the country!!!!!! ....Get on it, there is a sit down no hands rest about 9-10 bolts in, after the ladder section..

Also you can TR it with a 70m rope with about 2-3 feet on either end

make sure you get on the right route. namaste is the third from the left not the center one.

it goes from left to right. 10+, 12c, 12a, and a project. these climbs are other worldly, i feel very lucky to be in their presence.

Gaar, you're nuts. As most the moves are straight forward there are several reachy ones that take strength, reach and technique to pull off without hangin'. Pump factor is a legal element to bump the rating to .12. Furthermore, I highly doubt the .10+ leader could do this route clean. (myself included)

This route like it's easier neighbor 1/2 route is fantastic and worth doing over and over again.

Shady, quiet and perfect temps late June '09 (and not a single mosquito)

Super fun, we both figured 11d. Lots of good rests, plus a no-hands to get it all back.

Try greeting the next single Indian girl you meet with the phrase "Namaste", and it may earn you you a few bonus points!

12a ...11d...no matter. What's important: Namaste is THE line to do!!
did the route on 4/3/2010... still lots of snow on the approach in the canyon, but very nice.
one of the very best sportclimbs I ever did.

Thanks Conrad! These lines are truly special climbs, above the realm of grades... There are 4 complete bolt lines plus the unfinished route on the right. I hope to see further development of other lines on this wall, room for several others!

My new favorite sport route. Jugs, jugs,jugs. Some of the most beautiful climbing anywhere. The whole experience up there is 2nd to none. Would love to chalk this one up as 12a but its not. Soft. Super straight forward and 2 no hands rests make it an easy 12a tick. Magnifico!
