FA: P. Raymond & J. Collis
Utah > S Central Utah > San Rafael Swell > San Rafael Swel… > Eastern Reef Ar… > I Crags (Uneva Canyon)

Description

A two pitch route at the back of Uneva with mixed bolts and gear. Fun slab moves with a jam or two mixed in.

P1. Follow bolts up and left to belay in an alcove with a good crack/gear anchor 5.8

P2. Move up out of the alcove and onto the steepening slab above looking for three more bolts that trend up and left. As the slab breaks in angle, follow the ramp up right to a 2 bolt anchor.

Descent: Rappel down the steeper face skier's left from the pitch 2 anchor looking for a second set of bolts on the way down. A single 60m rope will work.

Location

[Hide Comment] FYI, 2'x3' piece of rock broke off the clipping stance at the second bolt last weekend. Left a leaver biner as it didn't seem worth continuing on up. Seems like it'd be harder than 5.8 now unless you utilize a very hollow sounding foot-ledge even further left (would not recommend that approach)... hollow but fun climbing up to there at least Nov 14, 2018
