Description
Named for the amount of time that passed since the first ascensionist spotted the climb several winters ago, to actually climbing it. Two pitches of alpine 5.5, with plenty of options for protection. With one horizontal down climb pitch to the exit. The first pitch goes up a steep face to a roof pull. Pitch two ascends a myriad of crack systems over mini roofs, to a summit of jumbled blocks. Pitch three, is more of a traversal down climb to the exit gully, above serious and sudden exposure. The exit gully is climber’s left of the climb, i.e. to the East.
Location
Jump Off Canyon. This route begins just above the rappel if you’re exiting Jagged Edge. In fact, the scree scramble exit for Jagged is directly across from the start of Many Moons. This climb begins on the south side of the canyon. Approach by hiking Jump Off, then climbing the rappell at the end. Or better yet, climb Jagged Edge and tic this one off on the way out. Alpine.
