Cactus Sale Today

Description

The most fun I've had falling off a route. 

Climb up the slab, to huecos, to the right facing corner.  Every bolt you clip seems to add a grade and a few more degrees of overhang.

Climb the corner, clip the permadraw, and work through the gymnastic crux, likely moving left to right, maybe a lay back, maybe stemming, and maybe meat hooking the top of the feature the permadraw is on. 

A final finger bucket/crimp ladder provides the red point crux, and potential for big air.  Bon voyage.

Location

Center of the cliff. 1 permadraw. A narrow rib of rock separates Cactus Sale Today on the right and Cactus Cowboy on the left.

Protection

6 bolts, 1 permadraw.

[Hide Comment] I've seen this route sent with several different betas. Mike's full splits stemming was my favorite....to watch. Mar 15, 2021
