Description Suggest change

The Prow starts by climbing out the left hand wall of a shallow cave to a nice stance below the steep headwall. Climb the fingers to hands crack to the rim. Make a gear anchor (Red and Gold Camalot size) or run the rope way back to the trees.

This is my favorite 5.9 at West Elden.

Location Suggest change

The Prow is about 40 yards north (Left) of the Deception Cracks. The route is very easy to walk right by. Keep an eye out for a large cave. The route climbs out the left side of this cave.
