Description

Just plain fun! This starts and climbs a very small edge/corner to a wonderful face on mostly square-cut holds. Just a thought, "Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops." A really good route to warm-up on on this section of the Galaxy.

2nd route to the right of the arch.

Protection

8 bolts and chains

Go ahead and try to convince yourself that this doesn't look like a neat place to climb. Crisco cruzing...

It's a good skill to be able to highstep on this route.

The route starts in a little left facing corner and heads up into prefect rock.

[Hide Comment] Often you have to move back and forth pretty quick. Great holds and movement but not quite as classic as it's harder neighbor to the left. Apr 25, 2009
[Hide Comment] A good mix of small positive holds and big positive holds. You have to think about this one in a couple of spots but it's all there.
Super duper good! It'll be even better when that wet streak dries out and maybe a little easier, at least psychologically. Apr 26, 2009
[Hide Comment] Most of the climb is straight forward with a couple of side stepping minor traverse sections. The holds are definitely there so you don't have to be strong with the force to climb this wookie. The jugs are positive so climb like your belayer is holding a thermal detonator. R2D2 says the chance of sending this route are 725 to 1; of course R2 has been known to make mistakes.......from time to time. May 23, 2009

[Hide Comment] Climbed this as a warm-up to Jawa Jam. I found only a few "big positive holds" but there was some interesting movement necessary to climb it. I liked the opposing force moves. They were something different for me. A good one to force you to think a bit to figure out the puzzle. Sep 5, 2009
[Hide Comment] this place is great but lynn had to drag me there. lynn is a sick freak on this rock. dont buy the modesty. Nov 6, 2009
[Hide Comment] awesome climb! easily a new favorite, as you come up to a bolt if you get lost go right. the climb has lots of crimps but solid, lots of balence moves. you get good feet and can use small holds for balence, you get lots of places to stop and figure out your moves. the rock is great, good solid climb.

[Hide Comment] Fun route with good hands, if you can find them that is. Some of the hand holds were tricky to find so it took a bit of patience to find them, but hey that's what makes it fun! Clark's comment above it spot on. May 14, 2015
