Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment
|
|
Description Scramble up & left 20' to a short, water polished dihedral with a small bush at the bottom of it. Climb up & over a funky overhang with big jugs and get stood up on the ledge over the lip (crux). Be sure to put in a directional piece here before traversing left across the ledge. Continue up the zig-zagging splitter finger crack towards a small dead tree on the left side of the prow. Finish straight up the exposed upper section to the anchors. There is a direct start with two bolts that is an open project. It currently has a quick link on the second bolt.
Location From the Reptile Butress go right for about a 100' or so until you find a small flat, grassy patch at the base of another prominent butress.
Protection Standard rack, bring extra cams from TCUs to 1 1/2" sizes. Also bring plenty of long runners.

| Is that a bolted route to the left? |

| The direct start to Fractured Fairytale goes at ~5.12c. Beware the big flake at the 2nd bolt flexes a bit when you pull on it. I reefed pretty hard on it without any problems, but you might tell your belayer to stand to the side & wear a helmet. Excellent rock & good moves, and avoids the only poor quality section of FF. |
