A.M. nearing the top of Fall Line on Morning Glory...


Description 

This is the most popular sport climb on the Morning Glory Spire. Start just right of Syline 5.8. If you straighten out the line, it is 5.10c. If you zig and zag on the good holds, it is only 5.10a.

Follow a right facing corner, until you hit a slab. The slab is a little runout. Fun face climbing is had above. Head right to ease the grade. Finish on a small bulge right before the anchors.

Climbed Fall Line on 5/12/05 during a road trip from Colorado and couldn't help but notice that both bolts at the top move a little (not the hangers, but the bolts themselves). I suspect that the rock quality has something to do with it, and after careful inspection I didn't feel that it was currently unsafe, but given more time, these anchors will need to be replaced.

The move to the third bolt is tricky and the fall would be very ugly. Leaders breaking into 5.10 sport climbs might want to choose another route.

anchor bolts are suspect, should be replaced.

In regards to getting to the 3rd bolt...a fall has the potential to tweek the climber....the moves just below the 3rd bolt are awkward....I moved straight up from the second bolt rather than going right and it seemed to be pretty easy.
