Intolerance Test

Description

This route packs a punch, and is another must-do for The Dungeon! Begin with some steep and cruiser jug-hauling to get past a few clips, then power your way past back-to-back cruxes, with an okay shake in between. After surviving the first half, cop a quick shake, then execute a crimpy traverse out left to get established in the underclings and prepare for the upper headwall. Make the clip from the underclings, and thunder your way up the crack just left of the bolt line for a few more hard and pumpy moves before a slightly easier finish leads you to the anchor.

You can also add a little bit of difficulty by climbing the first few bolts of Branching Out to get to the first bolt of Intolerance Test and claim an ascent of the link-up, Branching to Intolerance. 

Location

Start just right of Soaked in Sin and left and uphill from Branching Out.

Protection

Bolts, the first half have permadraws.

[Hide Comment] Nice work bolting this rig! Shaun and I did some cleaning and climbing on this a while back (you may have noticed) but never got around to getting an application submitted. Glad it fell to someone more motivated! Psyched to get on it! May 14, 2018
