Adding new bolts, new anchors, and new routes at the Black Cliffs are currently NOT ALLOWED pending a BLM environmental assessment. Significant trail work is also on hold. Please contact the Boise Climbers Alliance with questions or for additional information
Description
Follows mostly positive crimps and edges up a column face for several bolts until the rock turns to a blonde color and becomes pocketed. The crux pulls through some of these pockets with a couple slopers.
Enjoyable climbing the whole way. A great Black Cliffs 5.10!
Location
First bolted route right of 'Chicken Wings.' Another route, 'Saturn' (12c), shares the first bolt and veers right. Sweat Engine goes directly up the plumb line.
Protection
6 bolts, chains
