Best Deal in Town (P2 Variation)

5.10b, Sport, 80 ft (24 m),  Avg: 1.4 from 5 votes
FA: Steve Garvey & Eddie Phay
Alaska > Anchorage & S C… > Seward Highway > Dino Head

Description

Starting on the ledge atop P1 of Best Deal in Town, this route tackles the face to the left of the massive corner system. Reaching the first bolt involves some commiting and difficult moves, and is a sketchy proposition. Bring your "A" game for this lead. Sustained slabby face climbing past four bolts leads to some loose flakes/blocks, tread lightly here. An airy escape move out left under the roof and onto the arete marks the highlight of the route. Above, join Raspberry Arete (5.7) to the top.

Protection

Approximately 8 bolts to 2 bolt chain anchor.

A fun variation. Maybe not worth a trip up to the ledge for this alone, but if you are climbing Best Deal in Town you may as well take a lap on this too. The flakes after the 4th bolt are delicate, but the climbing is easier. There is now a belay bolt on the ledge specifically for this route. Mar 31, 2021
