Description Thin crimping and technical foot work up a dead vertical wall. This route is safe, but the insecure moves and stances give it a spooky feel.The hardest climbing is in the first 35 feet, after which the climbing drops into the 10+ to 11- range. Fun all the way to the anchors.
To find Protege, look at the north-facing wall across from the red tower. The wall breaks into two distinct panels. The left panel is full of cracks and offers many trad climbs, as well as a couple of sport routes. The right panel is very compact and has four sport routes. Protege is the leftmost of these four routes.
Protection 14 bolts.

| Super route. It felt a little easier than a typical Devil's Head 11d. This wall only gets sun at the end of the day. |

| Great climbing on this one. A bit more sustained through the first half compared to the 3 routes to the right. The description of the protection seemed accurate to me - it felt kind of committing, despite being fairly well bolted. Maybe due having a bit of a pump during the last part of the crux, with a bit of a run (albeit fairly easy) to the next bolt. |

| Head Crew notes:
Boomer (aka Rich Magill) was infamous for wandering off (with Burwick), sending a bunch of routes, then showing up after we were cooked from cleaning, drilling, and working moves, to grab the FA. This one, and "The Poacher" next door, are a tribute to his Zook Mastery.
Hail Boomer! |
