Seasonal Raptor Closure 2012 MORE INFO >>>

Description 

Fun and popular warm up.
Steep start leads to fun slab climbing above. The rock gets really good just below the anchor, too bad it's not that way the whole pitch.

(a fun option is to link this with the last pitch of Solar into one long lead)


Location 

Right of Caffeine Free, left of Purple Headed Warrior.

CONDITION REPORT 

The rap rings at the top are VERY worn. Worn through about half way in two places. Please do not toprope through the rappel rings. This is a super popular route that gets a ton of traffic.

This first part of this route is steep climbing between giant huecos, and involves some reachy moves. Shorter people seem to have a harder time during the first half of the climb than others, but work your feet up and you will be fine-- the holds are huge and very positive (once you get to them). When you hit the red band of rock below the anchor pay attention-- there are a couple of loose blocks lurking-- make sure you avoid them.

Gets pretty loose towards the top. If you are new to 5.9 it will seem run out up there as well.

I really liked this climb. It's a bit reachy, but I found that intermediate moves could be made to compensate no problem. Steep moves to huge huecos where in one case at least there was a natural "handle bar" to grab. Be sure to jump on this one.
