Getting towards the crux.
Add Photo Printer View
Description Some slab, body English, great finger locks, and an offwidth finish sum it up. Harvest would be a classic except for the bushes in the lower crack. The climb starts in a lower angle V before going vertical in a flared chimney for a move or 2. The crack moves on to the face with the crux above the small roof where rattly fingers lead to a great hand jam and a desperate move (for me) into the offwidth. Descend from slings around a chockstone.
Location Far North End on the West face of Window Rock. Look for the V crack with small bushes and the 4" crack finish.
Protection Small to Medium Nuts and small cams(Purple and Green C3s). A #2 Camelot is nice for the pod after the crux. The offwidth protects with .75 Camelot in the back.

| This route is fricken' awesome, I have no idea why it isn't more popular. Perhaps the bushes in the crack at the bottom chase people away, but outside of that bit of climbing - the rest is superb. Varied climbing, bomber gear, and stout climbing. Get on it. The crux is pretty dang physical, so get psyched. Gear - Lots of thin gear (I placed many small to medium nuts) to a #2 or #3 camalot. I placed a #3 camalot (and took a nice whipper on it to :) in the pod, but a #2 would go in as well. Anchor takes either hand size gear or thin gear. No need for any big gear. The rap anchor is a bit on the sketchy side, but it worked. Slung block. Probably worth adding some slings. |

| Sweet climb! Well worth doing even with the bushes in the crack. Great variety of moves. The rock is just a bit dirty but with some traffic would be stellar. As for the sketchy block at the top, we traversed around the left side and rapped off bolts on some 5.6 on the east side. |

| Incredible! In my opinion, one of the best trad lines at the City. Just a little deciduous at the bottom, but otherwise very clean. This climb has just about everything you could ask for - jungly liebacking, a few easy chimney moves, insecure fingers through a small alcove/roof, great hand jams, and just a little offwidth to finish it up. I'm not sure you'd need big gear for the offwidth at the top. I was able to slot a big stopper at the bottom of the offwidth. |

| I don't think big gear is needed up top, either. If you brought it, you could probably use it, but really I don't think anything larger than a green camalot is needed for the route (could be useful for an anchor on top, though?). I'd bring small to medium stoppers, doubles or triples through fingers, a couple purple & green camalots, & runners. Rap slings are up the slab to the left. Felt nice & stout for the grade. |

| I wouldn't really call it ofwidth at the top. By that point you have two great face jugs to pull on. No offwidth technique neccessary. Awesome route. |

| This route's crux is pretty burly. I found it more difficult than any single move on Singapore or Tiny Town. Two fixed nuts as of 5/16/11 in pretty convenient places. Hard to place the #2 camalot when your hand is in the pod. |

| On 6/3/11, I sure didn't like the looks of the block all the anchor slings were slung around (the block wiggled a bit) so we slung a *much* larger block off to the left and used the biner from the "fixed" nut at the crux and an old locker of mine on the new anchor sling. Booty it if you want but definitely check out the old anchor block first--it's sketchy. |

| Onsighted Terror but had major problems on this one... Suggest more like 11a |

| Great route; its single crux move just below the pod felt like solid 11a to me. Definitely one of the best cracks in the City. |

| HB #8 OS in the pocket. - we're not sport climbing here. |

| One of the best and hardest 10ds at the city. And most folks will probably find the crux pretty tough at the grade. Outstanding. There's an old metolius cam in the lower section of the upper crack. Got it to move but probably would need a second tool to clean it. |
