Description

Calling all crimping freaks! 420 starts on the large ramp-like feature towards the right side of the Visions Wall. Step up onto the ramp and go straight up past a 2 by 3 foot flake(clip). Crimp up sweet edges interspersed with occasional larger holds. Between the fifth and six bolts the thin holds get thinner and the angle gets steeper before letting up for the sixth clip. A few moves above the sixth bolt you will encounter a fun juggy crack for the last 15 feet to the anchors.

Location

Look for the large ramp-like feature on the right edge of the Visions Wall. 420 Shadow starts toward the right edge of the ramp.

Protection

6 bolts, and 3/4" piece(optional) 2 bolt anchor.

[Hide Comment] The crimps have significantly worn down over recent year it seems, crux holds are very glassy compare to the first time I climbed it ~5yrs ago. A fair bit harder, but only a handful of really desperate moves. Jun 16, 2018
