Ben Folsom nearing the top of the Checkered Demon.


Description 

This is a great line on the center of the Checkered Demon Cliff. A hard, funky start is protected by a bolt and a fixed pin. After that easier climbing above in a nice stemming dihedral to a two bolt and chain anchor near the top of the cliff.


Location 

This is the main center dihedral on the Checkered Demon Crag. The start is marked by a bolt and a fixed pin a little above the bolt.


Protection 

A set of cams.

The route follows the LF dihedral after passing some hard face moves past a bolt and pin at the start.

Does anyone know if a hold broke off the start of this one? It felt harder than the start of Crack of Doom (5.11c) to me. The 5.10 crack above is very enjoyable, even if you need to pull on gear to get to the start of it.

Yeah, I thought the start was pretty hard too. I think it has always been that way though.
