Description Suggest change

One of the better, if not best, routes on Barks Canyon Wall.  Clean rock and good gear throughout the climb.  Pitch one climbs up either side of the pillar (we climbed the left side) to a two bolt belay.  Pitch two has engaging face moves to gain right leaning crack and continues over small roof to a large ledge with two bolts.  Pitch two is the physical crux.  Pitch three climbs the face straight above using the pockets for crafty gear placements, 5.6+ to a two bolt belay.

Rappel the route back to packs or explore the unique area behind the climb.  Second rap is a two bolt vertical chain anchor. A stretched single 70m will just reach the base.

Location Suggest change

This route is on the far right side of Barks Canyon Wall and is easily found by the large pillar (or the Erection) that leans against the wall.  There are two sport routes just to the right of this climb.
