Starting up Intimidation.


Description 

It's surprising that this route hasn't been added to MP until now, since it's one of the best routes on Blair III. Start by climbing a nice, hand crack that angles right to a sloping ledge. From the ledge, pull the first of two cruxes up a steep and strenuous crack/face. The next crux is a challenging offwidth that leans left and offers some good grunting.


Location 

This route is located on the northwest face of Blair III towards the southwest end. Look for a triangular inset of rock about 20' off the ground to find the start.


Protection 

Medium stoppers to #4.5 Camalot. There is a two bolt anchor at the top and two ropes are needed to rap off (one 70m might reach).

This is what happens if your rope is not truly 60m.  Good thing we had another rope with us.

Get on this thing, very fun. My friend said a 60 meter rope got him to the ground. Make sure your rope is 60, apperently my buddy's rope is not a full 60 meter, as I was left hanging in a tree about 20 feet up.
