As Hard As You Want

5.7+, TR, 40 ft (12 m),  Avg: 1.6 from 7 votes
FA: unknown
Alaska > Fairbanks & Vic… > Grapefruit Rocks > E Grapefruit Rocks > Morning Wall (Back Wall)

Description

Approximately 45 ft from the right end of the wall is an offwidth dihedral 5.7; right of the crack is a face with interesting moves that range from 5.7-5.10, hence the name of the route. Bouldery moves at the start and the steeper headwall about 2/3 height mark the cruxes.

Location

A confluence of trails encompass this crag making it very accessible for building anchors. No fixed gear on this crag.

Protection

TR this route or lead the offwidth crack placing large gear as you go. A natural anchor can be built by an easy walkoff up top.

Harder option of this route starts where he has his right hand with a left down low in an undercling while the easier option(5.7) starts in the off-width crack to the left...to my knowledge anyways. Was difficult to figure out the guide book's info for this one.
