Looking Glass Regular Route 

The two webpages mentioned above with info on the climb rated it a 5.7. However, I thought it was easier and the same as Wilson Arch Regular Route, which was rated a 5.3, so I'm splitting the difference and calling both a 5.5.

Great route to take beginners on! Spacious, comfy ledges at every belay. Great summit and views, well protected with bolts where you need them. Could possibly place two finger-sized cams on the entire route, but not necessary.
One double rope rap to the ground.

There are several sets of unnecessary bolt anchors on the summit and around the arch, maybe a dozen odd bolts that could be pulled and patched. Was someone practice drilling, or what?

What a great day (feel weird calling it a climb). Get your party hoisted up to the first belay and off you go! Some exposed (left/right) friction moves on the second pitch but it's mostly Class 4. Short 15' rap off the south end of the arch to the 'window' - we had 4 people there and it was crowded (and cold in the winter shade). 2x60m ropes to get down from there. All around fun!

Really fun and fast climb! Here are a few notes:
-We found one more bolt than listed per pitch (on the first pitch they are usually found on a flat spot/ledge before or after when you would actually want them).
-Bring a 1/2 cam for a mantle just before the first belay (bolt in pretty far below you) There is a nice jug but it felt loose.
-Link pitches 2& 3 with a 70 m rope easily.
-1 70 m rope will get down the rap (just enough rope)
-The crack below the arch leading to the rappel hole would be an INCREDIBLE line!!! But way out of my league.
-The rap sling seemed good. But I wonder why a chain doesn't get left. It would last a lot longer and would NEVER be seen by anyone not up there.
-The rap itself was worth the 3 hour drive. VERY COOL!
-If you look around on the summit you will spot some very random bolts...??? The ledge on the south ridge has a VERY strange line of bolts...??? Who drilled these things and why I wonder.

Fun, easy route with a REALLY fun rappel. Rappel anchor looked bomber; good webbing with several bolts.

I created a printable PDF beta sheet for the route (including a map).

Climbed it with my bro-in-law and our boys. This was my son's 1st multi-pitch climb.

A couple friends and I added a summit register to the top of Looking Glass. If you want to check it out before you rap, it's in a Nalgene under the cairn at the very tip-top of the arch.

When I pulled the ropes, the ends of the second 60m met about 30 feet above my head, so the rap must be about 130 feet.

Can easily be done in two pitches with a 60 or 70m rope. A 70m rope gets you to the ground for the rappel... no need to double up.

Be really careful about the rattlesnakes. We came across 6 in the rocks right at the start of the first pitch.
