FA: Bob D'Antonio, Ethan Passant
Colorado > San Luis Valley > Penitente Canyon > Penitente - Inner Canyon

Description

Start out between Dazed and Confuzed and Sheer Strength. Scramble up some low 5th class terrain passing a bolt & some choss, clip a bolt, chalk up, and fire the powerful sequence to gain the anchor. It climbs more like a compression line than a crack.

Location

This is between Dazed and Confuzed and Shear Strength.

Protection

[5] bolts and a 2 bolt anchor.

[Hide Comment] I did the 2nd ascent of this route & really enjoyed it. All the holds are pretty good, but the climb is steep. Great new addition. Nov 6, 2013

[Hide Comment] Awesome line! Thought this was a bit harder than 12a to go purely up the crack. Apr 8, 2018

[Hide Comment] 5 bolts, it will always be "still cleaning up". After hearing Bob talk this up we got on it, I'm impressed with how overrated it is. Weenie Way is an awesome line, this is NOT! Apr 25, 2019

[Hide Comment] Dynamic finger crack climbing with some classic Peni pockets to keep it manageable. This is a nice line! Jun 6, 2020
