Thar She Blows

5.10d, Trad, 70 ft (21 m),  Avg: 2 from 1 vote
FA: JS, Kent Wheeler, 2016
Utah > Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Big Cottonwood… > Glass Ocean & Environs

Description

Row faster lads, there's money to be made. Well protected face climbing past five bolts leads to slabbier rock protected by a cam or two and one more bolt to the belay ledge. First part of the route is three-star climbing, methinks. Easily top roped from A Fish Called Wanda.

Location

Walk left along the base of Glass Ocean past the trees guarding the scramble to get to Troubled Seas, Get the Net, and Hydroplane (also the walk-off for Delta Y, Lord, and Atlantis). In about 25 feet the trail jukes up to the base. Grey hangers mark the route.

Protection

Draws, single cams to maybe a 1 ½", and a full sling or two. Rap from bolts fixed with Metolious rap hangers.
