Going for the anchors on Stake Your Claim (5.10d)....


Description 

Located on the left side of the west face, this enjoyable climb lies between Mighty Quinn (5.10c) on the right and Highgrader (5.11a) on the left.

Start about 10' down and left of Mighty Quinn and climb varied face past a dihedral before moving slightly right and exiting onto the exposed headwall the climb finishes on. The crux is near the end, and while possible to climb directly over the bolt line, most opt to climb slightly right of the bolts.

The rock is a little scrappy down low, but the variety of moves, exposure and overall length combine to make this a recommened route for the grade.


Protection 

7 bolts, sport anchor
