Description

If you look closely at the bottom of this route you can see the pencil writings of a gold miner who more than likely struck out. Lucky for you, this canyon classic will surely be your chance to strike it rich.

An awesome winter-time climb! The face of this route bakes in full on direct sunlight most of the day while the other EBM/Buttrocks routes go in the shade.

Think ya got what it takes to take this canyon classic down? Then rack yourself up a dozen draws and try putting this bad boy up after a long day of steep limestone. Solid, sustained movement on well-mapped out holds will ensure a rowdy, good ole pumpy climb that might just have you saying, "Dagnabbit! This here is the good stuff!"

Location

4th route from the far right hand side of the wall.

[Hide Comment] Did this route with a group of 6. We all agreed out left arm was significantly more pumped than our right after this climb. May 20, 2016
