Smokey Smith

5.11a, Sport, 30 ft (9 m),  Avg: 1.8 from 10 votes
FA: Tim Standing 2007
California > Sierra Eastside > Lone Pine Area > Alabama Hills > Alabama Hills N… > Cattle Pocket &… > Corridors > Sunday Matinee Wall

Description

This route starts out really nice on steep fat edges and then blanks out at the 4th and 5th bolts. Either escape left to Walking the Hills or figure out a contrived way to move up the arete with small crumbling holds.

Location

The face just right of Walking the Hills on the north end of Sunday Matinee Wall. Faces West.

Protection

5 bolts, a little "go for it" is needed at the crux. Lower off fixed anchor. The anchor is a little back for some reason, so watch your rope.
