Description Suggest change

As the shortest climb so far, Tenacious goes up easy-ish terrain for 3 spread out bolts then heads left beneath blocky features. Figure out how to use the various laybacks, and try not to fall over the 5th bolt just over the lip, then continue past two more bolts to a set of chains. This route is pumpier and more technical than it looks.

Descent: rappel or lower from the chains. As of 9/2018, the upper portion of Tenacious is a project that is comprised of many large blocks that will probably easily come off if tampered with; it is a work in progress.

Location Suggest change

As you approach from the west, step down from the cave-like overhang, and continue 10 more feet around a buttress (the start of both Rainbird and Redbird). Find the start of Tenacious in the corner.

The first ascentionist could not decide whether to grade the climb 10a or 10c...thus both are included in the name. Then again, maybe it will only seem like 5.8 or 5.9 for some?

Protection Suggest change

7 bolts + chains.
