Description
This is a long pitch with lots of hands, the pro is varied since the crack constricts often. The rock quality is good as Red Rocks, nearing Wingate. I think the belayer should be at the highest ledge to reduce rope drag but with runners and a runout, could be belayed from the ground.
From the ledge with the anchors (atop the 20' approach pitch), it is a full 35 meters to the top anchor. Need a 70m rope or 2 ropes to get off this.
