Summer Fugue

5.10a, Sport, 45 ft (14 m),  Avg: 2.7 from 37 votes
FA: unknown
New Mexico > New Mexico, oth… > Last Chance Canyon > Violince Wall

Description

Climb up on great pockets. 2nd too 3rd is the crux. Holds lead to the right, but don't get too wide. The big move is out to the jug on the left. Shorter people will feel this should be up in the 10's, because of the long move. The upper section is easy slab. A few cool moves up near the chains. Finish on the "JUG", which I call the best hold in the canyon.

Location

4th from the left. Just to the right of the crusty section that lies right of Fiddler.

Protection

6 Bolts, Chains with leaver biners.

[Hide Comment] Another fun route and a great warmup. I thought that with the long reach this route was closer to 10-. Feb 25, 2008

[Hide Comment] The route just right of Fiddler On The Roof is called Summer Fugue. This is the correct name given when established.
The route left of Fiddler has an extension, breaks a bit right an finishes on Fiddler. This is called No Frets.
Kind of a musical theme up there. Feb 23, 2016
