Flash Flood

5.7 PG13, Trad, 80 ft (24 m),  Avg: 2.5 from 2 votes
FA: Cody Baxter, July 2019
Colorado > Colorado Springs > Old Stage Rd > Hurricane Ridge > Hurricane Wall

Description

There is a little bit of awkward stemming/offwidth climbing to first piece of protection. Step right of a bush onto a face/arete, and find protection through intermittent cracks. Climb up to the obvious, right-facing corner, and from here, either brave the steep slab to Katrina's anchors or climb the corner till it flattens out step left, and downclimb to the anchors.

Location

This ascends an obvious water streak to the right of Katrina.

Protection

Small pro - cams 0.3-0.75 and a set of nuts.
