Description Suggest change

Unfortunately this climb has serious groundfall potential before the first bolt so it is hard to recommend. The climb was put up in 2011 by a solo climber for his own enjoyment. From the boulder you must step across onto the wall for an immediate 10 feet of exposure, then climb up and continue up to the bolt about 30 feet above the ground. From there it is a nice runout face climb, no harder than 5.7, straight up the wall for two pitches (each with two bolts) ending with a belay with uneven bolts with rings and screwlinks that we added. From there the third pitch heads up and slightly right past one bolt on very easy climbing, then up and left to the very top anchor / rap chains. Or head dead right to the chained rap station on Friction Affliction.

Location Suggest change

From More Affliction move left and climb atop a large boulder. Really the only large boulder from the arch to the slab/pinnacle that Crystal Blue Persuasion is on. From there you can see and covet the first bolt.

On the topo image found under "Crystal Wall Area", this is climb number 5.

Protection Suggest change

All bolts.
