Give It Up

5.11b, Sport, 80 ft (24 m),  Avg: 2.3 from 34 votes
FA: Anderson
Utah > Southwest Utah > Saint George > Beaver Dam Rd > Sunset Alley > Blank Cave

Description

This is the next step up in difficulty, since the rest of the routes in the cave are 5.12 and up. Clip one bolt on the adjacent 5.13 and make a hard left onto the slab. Don't head straight up. It looks easy enough, but it turns into 5.13 tugging.

The crux comes at a bulge with some interesting crack and pocket features. Long slings are a must to avoid rope drag on the traverse.

Location

Start in the cave and traverse out the left side...

[Hide Comment] Chains on this route are a joke at 1/4" or less. WTF? Way to spring for the good stuff. Nov 8, 2017

[Hide Comment] I agree about the chains. I clipped one of them for the ~5ft traverse over to the anchors of Movin' On Up. Nov 1, 2020
