Topical Rush

5.13b, Sport, 50 ft (15 m),  Avg: 3.3 from 3 votes
FA: David Bloom
Arizona > Northern Arizona > Flagstaff Area > Mt Elden Crags > One Wall

Description

Topical Rush is the most bad ass sport climb on Mt. Elden. 50 feet of overhanging and featured dacite is a rare find in the Flagstaff area. The crux move down low is HARD and pinkie intensive. After the crux, a couple moves bring you to a decent rest. Crank through intense bouldery moves on some of the coolest holds I've ever found on Elden, then execute a big lunge to the top of the wall. Like all the routes on this wall, be sure to top out, or it doesn't count. Incredible climb!
