Description

This climb is located in the heart of the formation in a deep cave. It is usually almost always dry, it stays snow free and out of the wind. The climb gets sun in the winter starting at about 2:30 pm. The weathermen starts standing with a right hand pinch and a left hand crimp, pull on and make power moves on open handed holds to a tough crimp move at the top where you have to let your feet out. Bring at least three pads as the landing is rocky.

[Hide Comment] This is one my favorite problems I have ever done. The pictures here don't do the line justice and this problem alone is enough reason for anyone who climbs the grade to come out here. Jan 24, 2019
