BETA PHOTO: Simple Simon starts at the chalk in the bottom mid...


Description 

Overhanging roof with great jugs, although 1 or 2 key holds are hidden. Some reachy moves may be hard for short people. The entire route is overhung with barely any weight on your feet until the anchors. Climb it fast as you get pumped out of your mind hanging there looking for the next moves.
Fun strong route.

*Great photo op with the valley & lake in the background


Location 

In the middle of the overhanging wall section. Look at the beta photo. Starts at the chalk in the bottom middle and then goes up the jugs on the left side of the photo


Protection 

5 bolts and chain anchors. All the bolts are clipped from solid jugs.

This was the first bolted climb at The Superbowl and at the time was one of the steepest climbs in Utah for .11b. A must-do for anyone who climbs in Rock Canyon at this grade and a great route to see where your power and technique are at on overhanging climbs.
