Description This climbs the crack on the Teflon's face. This face is on the east face of Challenge, about 100 yds beyond the fork. It protects well and is a decent beginner trad route. It has finger and hand work, but the face is so good as not to force many jams. Climbing this climb is the easiest way to top-rope the Teflon's.
Protection 2 chains atop, medium pieces/cams. Nothing tricky. It protects well.

| I wouldn't truely recommend this climb. Kinda blah. Not to many good jams and tiny feet. Protected well, for the most part. |

| ahh...the route isn't that bad...at least if you consider it a means to a TR on the harder lines to the left.
Plus, once you get sort of comfortable, you can cruise it in your tennies with only a piece or two... |

| Probably not a good lead for a new 5.7 leader, as it feels harder than that. Esp considering the crux is the start. Mostly climbs the face. |

| Nice and easy, did it for my first ever trad climb. The start is pretty goofy, especially if you are on the shorter side. All in all a very safe and simple climb. Great if you wanna top rope Touch of Teflon just around the corner, as they share anchors. Careful not to get the rope caught when you moving over though! |

| Bottom is the only interesting part of the climb. And the fact you can TR touch of teflon. |

| Weird start that goes directly into a brief crux. I found the best footholds near the crack. Just get a good hand and finger jam at the crux and work your feet up. This route lets up considerably after that brief crux section. It's not the coolest trad route but certainly a good crack for beginners!! |
