My Pick Struck Cold!

5.11d, Sport, Alpine, 80 ft (24 m),  Avg: 3 from 2 votes
FA: Nick Weicht
Alaska > Anchorage & S C… > Valdez Area Rock > Tunnel Wall

Description

This is the third route from the right. Start on an overhanging, juggy flake, and fight the first crux till the wall goes more vertical. Shake out on ledge, and prepare for a thin, technical section for the middle crux using tinny holds or a layback the sloper. From here, it is a bit more straightforward up the arete through big fetchers and through to the finish line.

Protection

11 bolts, 2 bolt chain anchor.

Be prepaired for a hard start and a second crux half way up the wall on this amazing route.

[Hide Comment] Excellent climbing. Steep long reaches between jugs at the bottom with a crux at the middle. I went far left for the crux as straight up looked blank. It needs more traffic and a little scrubbing. Jul 27, 2021
