Climbing is currently allowed in Last Chance Canyon. Continued access is everyones responsibility. MORE INFO >>> The Lincoln National Forest Service continues its ban on bolting new routes (or, by permission only). However, climbing is currently allowed in all areas of Last Chance Canyon. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Climb the great pockets up the rounded corner. To extract the full potential from this route, stay true to the line, avoid moving right after the 1st bolt where you can steal a jug or two from #7. A good clipping hold for the 2nd. The balancy move at the bulge usually causes the most problems, getting a high left foot is usually the ideal way. Another bolt, and you will be at the chains. The rock looks chossy up near the chains but has been stable.

Location 

Just to the left of the right facing corner that is route #7. This is the last route from the left finish under the roof.

Protection 

Bolts, Leaver.

Excellent first 5.9 

Those new to 5.9 will love this route. Working on the left things are far more sustained. New leaders will enjoy that, should they feel pumped or sketched out, they can escape right to easier climbing and a rest.
