Uncertainty Principle

5.11a, Sport, 45 ft (14 m),  Avg: 2.5 from 2 votes
FA: DJ, CB, CF
Colorado > Naturita & Para… > Big Gypsum - Do… > Hamm Canyon > Hamm Boulder

Description

The name says it all. A hard start from lack of foot holds leads to a sea of thin and frail holds, staying just left of the bolts the whole way to the anchor. Mentally taxing!

Location

This is the left route on the steep face of the Hamm Boulder. It shares the anchor of Wishbone.

Protection

Clip five or six bolts to an anchor with lower gear. It is the main lower anchor for Wishbone, Uncertainty Principle, and This Little Piggy.

[Hide Comment] Fun, sustained crimping on an unlikely feature. If you are in the area, this is a fabulous boulder. May 26, 2020
