Climbs and Misdemeanors

Utah > Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Big Cottonwood… > Penitentiary Wall

Description

This route is a variation of Tax Evasion, and consists of thin friction. It is worth doing as it makes you think for the solution.

Protection

This climb shares the anchors (slings) with Tax Evasion and Climb And Punishment; therefore bringing extra slings would be prudent. It climbs the same crack as Tax Evasion, but climbs onto the face at the 2 foot rightward jog. This face doesn't protect.
