Description

In my route names they are almost always related to something going on in my life. Baby Business was put up when my first son was in the womb, thus the womb as well… impossible Dream is the same. I’ve eyed this line for years. Saying one day I’ll put it up. One of the best things of my life ended that day and I was feeling I need a distraction. So on a whim I ran up to Payson to give it a go and I sent it after a couple warm up tThe first thought that came to me was Impossible Dream.   The ironic thing is that I actually did it, so lesson learned. Nothing is Impossible if you can Dream it!

ID Follows horizontal rails out, pulling the lip to chains. Only one draw needed at the start then the rest are permadraws to the chains just past the lip.
Enjoy making the impossible possible!!

Location

Impossible Dream is easy to find as it follows the permit draws out the right side of the cave.
