Description One of the most amazing pitches at the Obed. Super steep and sustained climbing out a roof to an overhanging prow. Was onsighted by Katie Brown and she hardly broke a sweat.
Location Locate the obvious overhanging arete.
Protection Is currently fixed (11/20/12) with Climb Tech perma draws. If working the route take a look at the draws and make sure the cables are not fraying. The draw on the crux bolt was removed due to 4-5 frayed ends that were super sharp and sticking out. Would cut the rope of a falling climber for sure. Don't assume fixed steel (or any) draws are totally bomber.
Easier if you skip the crux clip on redpoint.

| I have to say it: my least favorite route at Y-12. Sandy, sharp, glued on jugs for the first half of the route. The roof is awkward and completely glued. Only the crux is amazing rock...and it's about 6 moves long. Then just more 5.11 to the anchor. Sure it's super long and on the proudest part of the cliff...but that's about it. |
