In critical habitat area for the Desert Tortoise

Description 

This route is named "k-8" because it originally was the eighth route from the left side. Now it about the 11th or 12th, so things have changed a little.

Anyway, Todd Goss calls this "one of the best routes in Utah". Wow... strong statement! However, I am hard pressed to argue with him - I can't think of another one at the 11b grade that is as good as this.

Great pockets and edges through a couple of roofs, everything but the kitchen sink on this line.


Location 

Starts right on top of the big boulder in the middle of the crag. there are about 10 lines left of the big boulder. 2 lines leave the top of the boulder, this is the right most of the two.


Protection 

7 bolts to Anchors.

Got on this route over the weekend; best i've done yet. The rock is unbelievable and the flow of the line is amazing. No real crux in my opinion, just stay with it and enjoy the climbing.

Bulletproof rock, fun moves, perfect holds. A little soft for the grade. I just wish it was longer!
