Left Mixed 9

5.9, Trad, 55 ft (17 m),  Avg: 1.8 from 4 votes
FA: Steve Ilg, late 1980s
Colorado > San Luis Valley > Big Meadows > Little Black Cliff

Description

Climb a face with a few thin moves. An occasionally tricky piece of pro keeps potential falls from getting long. Well-placed bolts supplement the gear.

Location

From Middle 11, go left about 20 feet past the kind-of-inset area with the opposing diehedrals. This is on the right side of the next buttress.

Protection

Mixed with 3 bolts and gear. There are chains at the top.
