Winds of Testing

5.11a, Trad, 200 ft (61 m), 2 pitches,  Avg: 3 from 2 votes
FA: Mike Burdon, Phil Gibson and Peter Wanberg, 2019
Colorado > Morrison/Evergr… > Juniper Pass > Amphitheater Area

Description

Winds of Testing is a really nice, long, exposed moderate in a beautiful setting.

P1: 5.10b. Start on a ledge right below a lone bolt. Pull a couple difficult moves at the bolt before climbing up a crack system that provides plentiful gear options. Move left around a bulge and up to the 2 bolt anchor on the belay ledge.

P2: 5.11a. Go straight up the face past two bolts and into a beautiful layback crack. From here, do an easy runout to the bolted headwall and crux of the route. Two bolts protect the beautiful, overhanging crux. Trees or cracks can be used to build an anchor on top.

Location

Just right of Seven Thunders.

Protection

A standard rack and a few alpine draws.
