Description Suggest change

The Maverick is a really fun 4 pitch route. Stevie Haston freed it at 5.13a, but most climbers aid it at 5.9 C2. It goes clean very easily-don't even think about using a hammer on this line.

Pitch 1 - Climb either 5.8R or C2 to a beautiful 5.13a or C1 splitter fingercrack. 60 feet to a fixed belay.

Pitch 2 - Either climb 5.9+ directly left from the belay, or aid C1 up to a fixed pendulum point and swing left about 15 feet. Both ways reach easy 5.6 mud to a good belay ledge. 50 feet.

Pitch 3 - Climb past a 5.9- bulge to another easier bulge. 50 feet to a killer belay ledge.

Pitch 4 - Climb 5.11 or C2 for 30 feet until it is possible to start free climbing at 5.7 70 feet to the top of the spire.

1 double rope rap from the summit leads back to the land bridge.

Protection Suggest change

2 sets of RPs(offsets very useful), 2 sets of stoppers, 1 set of cams to 3 inches.
