Survival Of The Fittest

5.11b, Sport, 80 ft (24 m),  Avg: 3.4 from 15 votes
FA: P. Humphrey, E. Chemello, T. Klawin, S. Clark
California > Northwest Calif… > Trinity Arêtes > Visions Wall

Description

Cool lower section with hidden incuts; middle section is a little junky but relatively easy; upper section is somewhat thin and deceptively steep. Pulling out of the hueco/over the bulge seemed to be the crux. Not as good as the 2 routes to the right, but definitely worth a lap.

Location

Route to the left of Gooseberry, i.e. second to the left of the big snag against the wall.

Protection

10 bolts, anchors.

[Hide Comment] Dru recently retrobolted and significantly cleaned up this route with permission from Eric. It was very R rated with sketchy limestone gear and never saw any traffic, but now is a fantastic fully bolted masterpiece. The bolts are placed to keep the climbing exciting. So get on it and enjoy another quality 5.11! He has temporarily hung perma-draws for the season in hopes to attract more traffic to clean and polish the route. May 30, 2018
