Keli Balo climbs Coyotes In The Henhouse (5.10d) a...


Description 

The thin and somewhat reachy start on small edges is the crux, and after the second bolt enjoyable moves on large but somewhat questionable holds lead to the finishing bulge, which is rife with excellent incuts making for a spectacular and enjoyable finish.

A classic of the area and a highly recommeded route for the grade.


Location 

Right side of the face between Brewed Awakening and Public Hanging.


Protection 

8 bolts, sport anchors

Great route. Technical up to and passing the 1st bolt, and then a great sequence to round the overlap. Fun climbing on big hollow flakes finishes it off.

Holcomb Valley's best? Certainly a candidate.

Started this one with the low undercling to the crimps above, strenuous to the first bolt, then holds increase in size. Move left before reaching the roof on Public Hanging and continue up on sharp flakes. Rest where you can, the finish is a pull over a small roof.
