Featured Route For The Thinking Spot
Looking up at the first pitch

Sport route 1 5.10  ID : McCall Area : The Thinking Spot
The first pitch of this route goes around 5.7/8 and goes up to a bolted anchor. This is around 100 feet and if you only intend on doing the first pitch you need two ropes to rappell. The second pitch has a definite crux pulling over a bulge. Very fun and protected by a bolt at your waist. Two bolt anchor on the top. You could rappell the route, but the walkoff only takes ten minutes....[more]   Browse More Classics in ID
