Featured Route For The Sanctuary

Cosmic Trigger 5.13+  WA : Vantage (Frenchman Coulee) : The Sanctuary
Short and powerful sport climb with fun steep climbing, nearly horizontal to 45 degrees.Solid rock throughout. Pretty short with less than 20 moves; could call it V9 boulder.Chains should probably be moved higher, since the last move takes you to a finger bucket slightly above anchors (don't grab chains to clip; last move is definitely cruxy!)....[more]   Browse More Classics in WA
