Entering the upper corner after some steep, funky ...
Description
Lower Security Risk is the lower of the three Security Risk Buttresses. The route Prism is located on the same buttress as the climb Security Risk for which the crag is named.At the far north of the Security Risk buttress are located two big left-facing dihedrals. The furthest north located dihedral is the route Scraping By, 10a. The arete just south of the dihedral is home to the 12 a/b route, Eldo Of The People. Prism climbs the big, left facing dihedral just south of and right of Scraping By. The route begins off some large blocks at the very base of the dihedral.Climbing starts through a short section of large hanging blocks before entering the dihedral proper. The rock quality through this initial section is less than solid.Do not get discouraged as the rock quality improves quickly. Meduim size stoppers and cams can be placed here though placement is from an awkward stance.From this point upward on good rock, jam and stem up the remainder of the dihedral. Traverse left under the large roof and finish by turning the corner at the end on the very edge ofthe arete, above the routes Scraping By and Eldo of the People. A two bolt anchor will be found just above the end of the traverse.Rappel or continue on easy ground to the top.These anchors provide for easy top roping of the nearby routes.
Protection
Protection is good. 1 set of medium size stoppers and and cams up to 4 inch. For additional protection take one extra 3 inch cam.Two bolt anchor, 60 m single rope rappel.
