Description 

Thin crimping and technical foot work up a dead vertical wall. This route is safe, but the insecure moves and stances give it a spooky feel.The hardest climbing is in the first 35 feet, after which the climbing drops into the 10+ to 11- range. Fun all the way to the anchors.

To find Protege, look at the north facing wall across from the red tower. The wall breaks into two distinct panels. The left panel is full of cracks and offers many trad climbs, as well as a couple of sport routes. The right panel is very compact and has four sport routes. Protege is the leftmost of these four routes.


Protection 

14 bolts.

Climbed like Eldo. I thought I was on Prince of Darkness or something.
