FA: N/A
Utah > Wasatch Range > Northern Wasatch > Cache Valley > Logan Canyon > Fucoidal Quartzite

Description

A series of moves up a crack system. Odd rock formation, do a move, rest on the large ledge, do another move, rest on the next big ledge, repeat. Cushions is now fully bolted. It can also be climbed with nuts and cams.

Crux comes at the top (second to last bolt), the crack is difficult, but if you reach around you can find some good crimps off to the side to work with.

Location

Located on the ledge above Tennis Ball, walk up like you would walk up to set up the top-ropes, but then climb the series of cracks going up.

Protection

Fully bolted with 7 glue-ins and 2 chains at the top. Can also be done with a standard small-medium trad rack.

[Hide Comment] Oh, and if you're one of the people constantly covering the crimp at the top in chalk, please stop. I know you like to have tick marks so you know where to go, but you don't need to fill your hand and completely cover 6 inches around the hold. Aug 28, 2007
