Jeff on Left Up, July '99. Had to "doctor" the sky...


Description 

Left Up climbs a great finger and hand size crack just left of Stage Ledge. This climb serves as a great introduction to Looking Glass granite. Be careful the feet on the beginning of this climb are polished.


Location 

Left up is located just left of Stage Ledge, Bloody Crack, etc. Look for the obvious finger/hand crack that climbs to a ledge


Protection 

Standard NC rack (finger/hand sized), runners, single rope. Slings on the tree.

Another potential LG ankle-breaker! My partner and I went for this route as our "warmup" for the day and got a rude awakening on the start. After three slides off the start and one sore ankle, I threw in the towel and we went for an easier warmup. I imagine the friction is better on the start when the weather is cooler, but even so, I think the moves off the deck are more in the 5.9 range.
