Description
Dedicated to Lee Hansche. A passion for this style of climbing is a place Lee and I have always shared a special connection. Do this route if you are looking for something decidedly different.
Make your way to the back of the chasm and locate the bolt line on the left wall. Very quickly things get weird, probably wet and a bit grungy. Keeping an open mind and being able to think in multiple dimensions is the key to success through the lower half of the route. A large room sized hole in the side of the mountain provides a place to dry your shoes and contemplate the looming groove above. Swing out steep moves on good holds keeping up the fight until you can get yourself wedged inside the hanging feature and creep your way to the top.
Lee, no one would have ever doubted your commitment to Sparkle Motion. Your legacy will forever be a legend among the climbing community. Climb on forever my friend.
