Mr Numbers

5.10d, Sport, TR, 30 ft (9 m),  Avg: 1.9 from 52 votes
FA: Carl Horton
Utah > Wasatch Range > Southern Wasatch > Rock Canyon > Kitchen

Description

Slopey, greasy holds get you past the first bolt. This is an eliminate problem- you are not allowed to stem off the left wall or grab the right arete. Slightly overhung, this route requires that you have good feet. 

Protection

Three bolts to double chain anchor.

Major routes of the Kitchen looking from South from the main trail. The gate is just to the left. There is only about two feet to the ground from the bottom of the picture. The entire wall is not more than 25 feet tall.

This is what the anchors look like on Mr. Numbers.

[Hide Comment] Glassy again, just way too short. Kind of contrived, too, as it would be a lot easier using that left wall. Sep 17, 2005

[Hide Comment] This gets attempted A LOT! And I can't figure out why... there are so many better routes of the same grade around. Mar 13, 2009

This climb has two eliminations to make it the 10d grade. You can't use any of the crack or the left wall of Right Corner, and you can't use the right arete, as that's another route put up before this one.

It was named after a climber who never called a route by its name, but by its grade.

Contrived, greasy, pumpy, historic- what more is there to ask for in a climb? May 12, 2009

[Hide Comment] ha ha, contrived is right. I knew nothing about this route when I climbed it and was all over the opposing wall. Thought it felt about 5.7 that way.... barefoot (don't worry I cleaned every foothold on my way down) ; ) Jun 23, 2009

[Hide Comment] Almost died clipping the third bolt, got my finger stuck in the draw while clipping and right hand started giving out! if you're a 5.10 climber hit this one early in the day, not on a whim on the way back to the car! Oct 31, 2011

[Hide Comment] I think this line is better than what most people say, other than the insanely slick holds, its pretty fun. Aug 17, 2018

[Hide Comment] Very slippery with good moves but a good route to break into the 10d range. If only it were a little longer. Sep 17, 2020
