Description 

Sharing the same great start with The Last Stand, Fist Full of Scalps takes a turn towards the hard stuff!

Climb past three or four bolts on solid Uinta Quartzite heading straight up the quickly steepening line. Take advantage of a rest before the bulge and get fired up. Move into the crux using what you can and explode onto the face continuing to hold your intensity. Micro edge feet, thin crimpy holds, and an intense clip define this routes crux. Figure out what you can while you can and move with confidence towards the chains.

Location 

Fist Full of Scalps climbs the direct dead center of the Last Stand Wall attacking the middle shield of rock. FFOS shares the start with The Last Stand and is just left of Scalp Fest

Protection
