Private Battle

5.11a, Sport, 40 ft (12 m),  Avg: 1.2 from 9 votes
FA: Jim Steagall
Arizona > Northern Arizona > Winslow- Hwy’s… > Jacks Canyon > Cracker Jack Cliffs

Description

Thin, hard start down low using holds well to the right of the first bolt gets you to some bigger holds and then into a mini-corner for some more interesting moves to a big ledge of poor rock quality for the anchors.

Location

The route is the first route to the left of the popular corner route, Best Seller. A low first bolt protects the route's crux off the ground.

Protection

4 bolts to cold shuts.  Old school lower-off: No mussy hooks.

[Hide Comment] I found the rock quality just above the second bolt along the horizontal crack to be a bit scary feeling. The third bolt is quite a distance from the second and if you blow it while clipping the third bolt, you'll hit the ground. Oct 9, 2007
