Westerplatte

5.12a, Sport, 100 ft (30 m),  Avg: 2.2 from 15 votes
FA: Darek Krol, Brad Buhrow
Colorado > Rifle > Rifle Mtn Park > Sapper Cave

Description

Pull on some pockets to start, and quickly get into a tricky, hard crux at the fourth bolt. A long headwall stays on you with sustained 5.11 climbing that just keeps going and going and going.

Location

On the right side of the Sapper Cave, start a few stair steps up on the way to Tijuana Crack Whore and Rumor Has It. There is a nice flat rock at the base. It's the next route left of Tijuana Crack Whore and just right of the large hole that marks the route Okinawa (12c).

Protection

16 bolts and anchor.

[Hide Comment] Good route with a bit of new route crispiness to it still. The crux felt hard for the grade and the sustained 5.11 climbing felt all of 5.11. I have heard some people describe this as maybe being harder than 12a. Good stuff, whatever it is, get on it! Aug 17, 2013
