Shoot' em Up

5.11b, Sport, Alpine, 90 ft (27 m),  Avg: 4 from 3 votes
FA: Nick Weicht
Alaska > Anchorage & S C… > Valdez Area Rock > Tunnel Wall

Description

This is the fourth route from the right. This long route starts up a huge flake and fights through pumpy, overhanging terrain with great holds. This beginning is the crux, then it cuts left onto the vertical face and up some less sustained moves. The upper third portion of the route is once again a long, continuing fight offering many different styles of climbing. Try and not get spit out of the tricky cave moves near the top. Blank face, overwhelming options with hidden tinny ledges, caves, cracks, and pockets make this a great route.

[Hide Comment] Fun! looks like this might be the best on the wall. Good pumpy climbing on jugs, small edges and cracks. I would disagree with the beginning being the crux, save some gas for the moves on the rippled face to the chains! May 27, 2014

[Hide Comment] Great climb though a little dirty. I thought the crux was getting to the cave before the chains. For me, this was all about managing the pump. Lots of good holds and a nice handjam for exiting the cave. This route may be a bit easier if it was thoroughly cleaned. Aug 5, 2021
