Urine Trouble

5.10c/d, Sport, 50 ft (15 m),  Avg: 2.6 from 20 votes
FA: Ed Engler
S Dakota > Spearfish Canyon > Big Picture Gully > Can

Description

Overhanging climbing past the first bolt tosses you right into the first crux and will provide a nice pump for the rest of the route. Thought provoking moves above will insure a good pump for the grade. As with many Canyon routes completing the pitch seems to be the crux.

Location

This route is the third bolted route from the left on the west end of the Can. There is small pillar below the start of the route.

Protection

Seven Bolts & Open Cold Shut Anchors
Stick Clip First Bolt
