Climber on the final overhang of Chicken Hawk.


Description 

An OK route that climbs straight up Chicken Wall. It starts from the right side of the first obvious belay ledge at the base of the wall and climbs good holds to the top of the wall.


Protection 

6 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. It can be set up as a TR from the top, but please be exceedingly careful when reaching down to clip the anchors from above. Use your best judgment as to whether it is safe or not.

There are so many features to use on this route, I'm not sure why it's not rated 5.8.

I agree about the rating. But you must always think of the grading issues at 'The Sport Park' when you go up there. Many of the routes are a little overgraded. Perhaps this route could be 8+.

This felt like solid 5.9 to me; maybe some of the edges have rounded off over the years. A good climb.

8 or 9, there are pretty good holds sustained to the anchors. If ever there are worn holds there are good feet (my take). It's a decent route- definitely a good first run for the day.

I would lean towards the 8 rating. Good feet the whole way. Great warm-up for the rest of the wall.
