FA: unknown
Colorado > Grand Junction… > Unaweep Canyon > Nine Mile Hill > Nine Mile Bould… > Late Bloomer Bo… > Iron Throne Stone

Description

Sit start matched on the generous ledge. From there, use some edges in the crack to gain the honeycombed overhang, traverse slight right along a ledge system, reach the lip, and crank on top of the cliff line.

Location

It climbs the south side of the crack that splits the cave.

Protection

Preferably four pads, but confident climbers can get away with less. The landing is actually very good.

[Hide Comment] Did this today without stepping on the giant, detached ledge. This problem was an amazing treat - fun big holds lead to an exciting mantel. Excellent landing! The flat landing is nice and flat. The only reason I don't give it all 4 stars is the quantity of sand. Feb 26, 2023
