Blood and Thunder

5.10c, Sport, 60 ft (18 m),  Avg: 2.7 from 3 votes
FA: unknown
Arkansas > North-Central A… > Horseshoe Canyo… > W Side > Confederate Cracks

Description

Slabby route with a mix of slopers and crimps. Find good feet and trust them. Crux may be getting above the first bolt, so stick clip it. Second crux is moving from second to third bolt. Throw to slopey, but deep, hueco well above the second bolt. Climb eases up after this. Sadly, because the route is either newish or unused, it is very dirty with lichen, moss, and dirt.

Location

Big wall above the sign for both Confederate Cracks and Crackhouse Alley at the junction of the farthest access trail coming up into the trail that runs under the west side walls.

Protection

6-7 bolts with sport anchors
