Melinda follows this long pitch, mostly hands with...


Description 

This is a long pitch with lots of hands, the pro is varied since the crack constricts often. The rock quality is good as Red Rocks, nearing Wingate. I think the belayer should be at the highest ledge to reduce rope drag but with runners and a runout, could be belayed from the ground.


Location 

As you rap into WW, this is the long corner just upstream on the west wall.


Protection 

nuts, small to large cams

Leading Kingsnake at Winslow Wall.  This route seems to work better as a 2 pitch route, with the short 1st pitch ending where Marilyn is belaying.<br /><br />Hanging Judge is the chalked up crack going up & right from the belayer.  It curves up to the small white ledge, then traverses right a few feet to finish on hand cracks.

1st Ascent- Jim Haisley and Scott Baxter, 1984-ish. This and the Hanging Judge were the first 2 routes climbed at the Winslow Wall and they were put up simultaneously.
