The Scarecrow

5.10a, Sport, 80 ft (24 m),  Avg: 2.5 from 119 votes
FA: Jeff Baldwin
Utah > Central Utah > Maple Canyon > Left Fork > Orangutan Wall

Description

Fun route, good for the mental game as the crux is between the first and second bolt, which are close together. After that the movement is fun, but not hard, however the bolt distances felt like they got farther and farther apart. Maybe 15 ft between last bolt and anchor/chains. Just a tad Pumpy!

Location

3 left of Superfly, or going left to right on the wall, it is the first route to the right of the routes containing PINK painted bolts. Stand on the hill above the stream gully to belay

Protection

6 bolts to chains

[Hide Comment] Climbed it at night. Fun route with the hardest part between the first and second hold with an awesome bomber hold that is great once you reach it. A fun route becomes a little drawn out after the 3rd bolt almost until the end. May 25, 2014

[Hide Comment] The bolt count on this climb is 6 still as of Sept. '18. Frank Anthony, you must have been on some adjacent climb. This route is still run out. Sep 12, 2018

[Hide Comment] The bolt spacing on this one is safe, but only just. It will feel much more runout than other climbs on the wall, especially through the last 2 or 3 bolts. Probably 20 feet between the last bolt and the chains, though it's on relatively easy terrain. Get on it, it's good! Sep 17, 2020
