Thriller

5.9+, Sport, 55 ft (17 m),  Avg: 3 from 3 votes
FA: Ben Boykin, Rob Kelman, 9/18/2009
Wyoming > Laramie Area > Vedauwoo > Old Folks' Wall

Description

This has a gymnastic start (consider using 2 locking carabiners on the first bolt!), followed by moderate ground, with a very thin, thrilling crux to a horizontal crack. Continue to the anchor straight above.

Location

Start from the top of the large, pointed boulder at the right base of Old Folks Wall.

Protection

5 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor. Advise taking a #1 Camalot for the moves above the 5th bolt.

[Hide Comment] Again, here's another route ripe for opinions on the rating. Please add your consensus rating. Since I helped put this route up, it would hopefully correct my perception of difficulty ratings. Sep 21, 2012
