Description

This pitch is a good method to see Citadel Canyon and stay in the shade on summer mornings. The crux is somewhere in the middle of the pitch near a block.

Location

Go high on the west face of the Citadel past the Bent Thoughts crack. Climb the major right to left weakness for one longer pitch. Belay down to the bolts at the top of the second pitch of Bent Thoughts (2 rope rap). This anchor will need a new 3/8" bolt and webbing.

Protection

Standard Organ Trad rack.
