Fun climbing on the upper dihedral. You just have...


Description 

This line takes you above the Lower Religion Wall. It starts off on the left side of the obvious right facing corner above Poop Tube. The start gets your heart going a bit when you start plugging finger size cams into a chunk of dubious Sedona sandstone. Climb 10 or 15 feet or so and reach around the arete to the right for a good hold. Once you've turned the corner on the arete, enjoy great jamming till you get to the wonderful belay ledge. Savour the view.... Great fun all the way.


Location 

Start from the double bolt belay on the limestone ledge...to the left of the top of Poop Tube.


Protection 

Many small (finger) size cams or tcu's for the start. Once you've turned the corner on the arete, it's small hands and hands to the belay....

Another excellent pitch on this wall. No excuses to avoid this gem. The crux is tough and figuring out the sequence may be your undoing, like it was mine. Crux protects with a bomber tiny blue camalot.

This route is amazing. The position, moves and exposure will not be easily forgotten. My favorite for the grade on the Church Wall.
