Description
Super sharp crimpers and monos all the way up.
Protection
Five bolts to two bolt anchor.
SLC, UT
To be more specific, moving off a jug pocket, just above the break, to a small but positive crimp that you make the next clip off of. The span is about 6'. There is a small 2-finger for your right (shallow and sloping) or a tiny crimp way up left (lichen on it so that probably isn't it) and a rock scar right in the middle. You can skip this move by heading out to the arete but I figured that was cheating, for sure.

This section is the real crux of the route.
Without giving the fun totally away.
Stay left use underclings to gain a super sharp crimper. This sets you up for a very technical cross to gain a good crimp and mono.
I'm not sure what "local" you talked to but they didn't know what they were talking about. Jul 17, 2010
