FA: Bill Boyle
Utah > Central Utah > Maple Canyon > Right Fork > Damascus Gate

Description

Crux comes right off the ground. Pull a small roof at 2nd bolt and continue through on large holds. Another small crux pulling the bulge up top to easier climbing to the chains.

Location

Located on the second wall of Damascus. At the base of the wall there are three incorrect route names written in chalk. The fizzler 12a, the chizzler 12b, and the drizzler 12c.

Dr. Goodkind (incorrectly labeled "The Fizzler") is labeled 12a and is the leftmost of the three routes

[Hide Comment] This could be a good route if it cleans up. It is still pretty sandy. Anchors are the normal three links of chain. Wish people would use a longer chain, or mussy hooks, when they put up a route. Jul 12, 2011

[Hide Comment] This sounds like the Bizzler 12b. The Fizzler is the next route right, 12a, pumpy climbing through the first 4-5 bolts to a white streak. Aug 6, 2012
