Description 

First route right of Cracker Jack (mixed crack). Route opens with challenging 10b/c moves, then jug haul section to half way point up to a roomy ledge. From the ledge, face climbing brings you to the very fun finishing roof move. Not the most sustained route on the wall but very fun and well-protected.


Location 

Fifth route from left or first one right of obvious 30' crack system.


Protection 

Bolts, chain anchors

Someone added a bolt so a CAM is no longer needed.

I vote 5.11a on this route, based on the impossible-for-anyone-under-6' move before the roof. Tons of fun, otherwise.

isn't it forbidden to put up a stronghold route rated 11a or harder unless you've been climbing there for more than 10 years? :)

Plus, it's not even close to 11a by Cochise or Mt Lemmon standards...regardless of height/reach.

Geir: It wasn't put up as an 11a. Someone knocked off the block that enabled mortals to reach that high hold.

Boodge: Did *you* knock that block off. ;)

Nope...that sucks though. I can see how it must be harder now. You could always dyno!

By "you", you mean "one", right? Because I'm quite certain that someone other than me could dyno to that less-than-juggy hold.

I'd actually like to try this route again, if anyone's up for it.

"There are no reach problems, only power problems." That only applies if you're Lynn Hill though :-)
