Details
Per
Wes O'Rourke: there will be limited access October 15th-17th. The first annual
True Penitence Climbing Festival will take place
October 15th-17th, 2021. The festival will be reserving all campsites and parking lots at the main canyon on October 15th and 16th.
Participation in all festival events will require registration for the festival. The canyon will still be open to the public for day use, but please plan accordingly, as camping is not available on site and parking will be restricted. Also, the climbing competition on Saturday the 16th will be asking the general public to yield to all competition climbers, as competing climbers will be heavily using most of the routes in the canyon. Please consider climbing elsewhere during the festival if you don't want to participate.
Description
This is another great Penitente 12a. It starts with some uncharacteristically (for Penitente) big holds, then climbs nice pockets at the crux before rolling over onto the slab on crimps.
Location
This lies just past the Virgin painting, where the canyon makes a bend to the right.
Protection
Bolts.
[Hide Photo] Just through the crux (after dogging!). Hard pocket sequence with very thin feet through the steep red wall.
