Geophysical

5.10a, Trad, Sport, 90 ft (27 m),  Avg: 2.6 from 5 votes
FA: Kevin Pogue
Oregon > Northeast Oregon > Spring Mountain

Description

A really fun but somewhat dirty crack that ascends the main wall. The crux was a really fun fist crack in a dihedral that turned OW on me, I believe that this is where it gets geophysical. the route then finishes up a dirty hand crack in a dihedral. Good stuff.

Location

at the left side of the main wall or amphitheater.

Protection

Mixed. there are some bolts next to easily protectable cracks, I dunno I clipped them so I am not going to cry about it.

[Hide Comment] Fun bodily moves at the first bulge with a good crack to the top. I have seen this lead on natural gear a couple times but me I usually clip a couple bolts. Feb 25, 2014

[Hide Comment] This route is a fun, very mellow 5.6 to the first quick-clip anchor. Great gear makes the half pitch a good candidate for for the budding trad leader. Apr 13, 2014
