Description Suggest change

This is an interesting route with good climbing. It will go free, but it was given an aid rating due to poor quality of rock on the third pitch.

P1. Start on some low angle choss and gain the chimney, follow up to a bolt/piton anchor.

P2. Head right and up into an awesome chimney behind a pillar. Clip one bolt, then continue up unprotected 5.9 chimneying to the top of the pillar and another anchor.

P3. Traverse right on delicate face climbing, clipping a bolt. From here, the rock quality declines and placements become tricky. This would likely go free at 5.11ish. Climb past the large flake system to the left, gaining a hand crack inside a 'book' corner. This continues for a long time, eventually pulling over a roof with fingers, leading to the upper shoulder of the centurion with a two-bolt anchor.

P4. Scramble. There is no anchor other than some old fixed stoppers.

Location Suggest change

On the South face of Centurion, this route is identified by the obvious pillar and crack system that leads to the top. You can rap this route or 4 Girls and a 6-Pack.

Protection Suggest change

Two 60m ropes, extra webbing, 1x Camalot #.00-5, 4x #1-2, 2 x #4, and stoppers including small offsets.
