Description
Overall rating is III 5.11 or 5.9 A0.
P1: The initial move is 5.11 (free) or A0 (yarding on some cams) which gains a wide crack followed by a short chimney and another wide crack (5.8 or 5.9). Belay at a two bolt station (which needs new webbing or chains). 100 feet
P2: Climb the 5.9 crack to the right of the anchors which changes to a chimney. 100 feet
P3: A short 5.5 pitch leads to a large ledge with trees for belay. 50 feet
P4: The hand crack continues at 5.8 and ends on another ledge. 100 feet
P5: This pitch climbs on the nose of the point, fun 5.7 slab and incipient cracks. 70 feet
P6: Climbs more crack to the POINT, or opt for the slab variation at 5.7. 70 feet
Location
The buttress containing One Messiah lies just across the canyon from Rigel's Wall.
Normally, Spring Creek starts flowing maybe 200 yards east of the initial narrows from a system of springs (hence the name). Uphill from this point is all dry wash except during storms or reservoir releases. Near the start of the dry section, the south canyon wall extends into the wash. The first pitch crack lies on this cliff and is obvious (see beta photo).
