Comments: That's a good question. From the main Nautilus road as you split off to go to Citadel, it is just to the right. In fact, if you can see it from both roads, but the crack where the picture was taken is blind from both roads. Does that help?

Comments: I climbed this today, the best climb in the canyon. Proud send in hiking boots. I checked the first piton on the 3rd pitch. It wiggled and I pulled it out really easy. I would have replaced it if there were not a fantastic chicken head to girth hitch. This does not to be replaced, the chicken head was better than any piton. Not to mention forget the PG13 rating does this mean i have to check with my parents before I climb if Im under 13? George didnt rate it PG 13. LONG LIVE THE WASATCH!!!!

Comments: I have seen this rock too. I believe it is new either this year or late last year. This cannot happen. Please, if you are not thinking of what the repercussions could be for this act, check out other areas that are no longer climbable. PLEASE stop this. It is Graffiti no matter how you look at it. It is destroying and defacing rocks. PLEASE PLEASE STOP.

Comments: I take it the Nacho is feeling a little pooped out as he likes to make up stories about hidden bolts. This guy "The Nacho" has been known to tell tall tail's. He told me that he enjoys sking over Ice climbing. Well maybe because global warming is ending Ice Climbing as we know it, though the ski pack is not much better. Back to the task at had. Truth be told the nacho has hiked many miles to ice climb 12 feet of ice and I have seen a few bolts with the stamp SN a few feet off the ground "bitch b... more >>

Comments: Nacho
If I remember correctly you enjoyed the dirtcicle as well and though Im flattered by your round about way of a complement and thrash all at once you can not convince me that when the ice is good you would rather ski. As for the reference to the frozen poop. didnt you find some poop around the dirtcicle? To all others, the Dirtcicle is fun. Go for it. Ice is too rare to be picky.

Comments: I would call this a little more stiff than V3. I started at the undercling and found it to be about the harder V4 range. Even a soft V5

Comments: I forgot about Todd taking that digger. As I remember we didn't use any cam hooks on the FA. Killer top out. One of the best in the Canyon now that the pillar has been laid to rest.

Comments: One of the best non trade routes in Zion. The artificial Aid is a bit lame "just to keep the grade harder" but good none the less. Cool top out. It's missing a summit register:( 2 sky hooks and 2 talons will do you just right unless you want to bring a rack of both for placements.

Location: NV : Red Rock : Pine Creek Canyon : Out of Control area : American Ninja (5.11a)
By: Bill Bones When: Nov 5, 2007 | view comment >> |
Comments: I though this route was a solid 11a, though the book gives it a 10c. Thin moves with amazing stem/friction moves in the crux. bring some small cams and stoppers. We placed a #2 in a pocket down low and also another #2 at the top after the crux. Great route. I gave this route 4 stars because it was a challenge in every aspect, Gear, Climbing, and setting.
