Penchant
Add Photo  Printer View
Description Another Steele sandbag, Penchant has some nice offwidth-to-hand crack climbing . . . if you can pull the start to get to it.
Starting below a prominent offwidth, make difficult moves through a thin crack system to gain a small ledge. Follow the offwidth as it narrows to a more manageable crack, then continue jamming and face climbing to the top.
Location Located near the right end of the Copout/Penchant area, about 20' left of Dance with the Devil.
Protection Mostly medium gear, along with a spotter for the starting moves. Bolted anchors.

| If you lead this you will need a small piece (stopper) to protect the opening moves or just boulder it out to a good jug, then plug something in. |
