H.N.C

5.10+, Trad, 70 ft (21 m),  Avg: 3.2 from 6 votes
FA: FA: Bryan Bird and Carl Oswald, spring 2005.
Utah > Southwest Utah > Zion NP > Mt Carmel Tunnel > Cragmont
Warning Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures ***** RAIN AND WET ROCK ***** The sandstone in Zion is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN ZION during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp (and not powdery dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.

Description

H.N.C climbs past two bolts and through an overhanging left facing corner. Sporty style trad route that has some good rests and jams between overhanging moves, definitely get on this or link it into Cocksmasher to the left! Awesome route.
