Scott on the awesome "Sheep Thrills", just getting...


Description 

http://www.climbaz.com/Backcountry/page_html/page298.html

30' of face climbing brings you two a couple great cam placements in horizontal cracks. A few more moves get you to the first bolt and the start of the dike system. Stem, pinch, and crimp your way past bolts to a stance in front of a crack system and the end of the dike. Place a few cams or nuts here and climb easy terrain to the top. A typical Cochise ending, there is no pro available in this last 20 or so feet of this climb. With some help from your belayer, you can descend with just one 60 meter rope.


Location 

First (and only?) route on the Crisis Center. Located low on the formation, just across the gully from the Sheephead route Stampede.


Protection 

Small to medium cams; quickdraws.

Pretty serious line. Moves after second bolt are hard and you could take a monster whip.

Quality route!
