Description
This short aid climb is very near the road, has rotten rock, and may take a few pins...(Good Canyonlands practice?) It is short, somewhat steep, and the ground is never very far away, so groundfall is a concern. There may not be an anchor on top either (needle's simul-rap?). I know this description doesn't make this aid climb seem too appealing, but it is close to the road and challenging. It is located just behind Wait Until Dark at Cave Corridor. I watched Tony Sartin lead this climb on a freezing cold snowy day. A piece popped out and he came close to grounding out. Go take a peek at this climb.
