"To Defy Laws of Tradition", 5.10a, Left Flank, Re...
Description
A great pocketed route with lots of chalk up a slightly overhanging face. The technical crux is down low; the enduro crux is up high.
Protection
The route is well bolted and has a bolted anchor.
Location
This route is located on the Left Flank wall, and is the left-most route on the crag, about 20' left of a striking 5.12a arete. To reach Left Flank, take 77 East through the Nada Tunnel, then 1 more mile East to the Martin's Fork trailhead on the left. Cross the street and take the Military Wall/Left Flank trailhead, then bear left at the Y.
if i recall, as you climb between the 5th and 6th bolts, you'll notice a hanger-less bolt. the space left between them is big (not really big enough to warrant another bolt, though), maybe 15 ft. definitely instruct your belayer on soft catches, as there is potential for swinging into the bulge down low and coming away with a damaged foot.
definitely a spectacular route. a good introduction to solid 10a climbing.
