There Goes My Gun

5.11c, Sport, 80 ft (24 m),  Avg: 2.4 from 7 votes
FA: Steve Bechtel (1999)
Wyoming > Lander Area > Fossil Hill > 3. Fossil Hill East

Description

A fun climb, but not quite as good as the 5.11's in the main sector to the left of Hangfire. There are two sets of chains on this one. The first part is a good 5.9 with mostly easy climbing up sidepulls and pockets. You can lower from hooks after the crack ends.

The one bolt extension is the business. Pull the pretty bulge through marginal hard to see pockets. Clipping the bolt is tricky.

*BETA*

Climb left of the first anchor and extension bolt at the top.

Location

The obvious crack/seam feature to the right of the Asian Orange streak.

Protection

7 Bolts for the 5.9 and an extra bolt for the 11c extention
