Colorado > Grand Junction… > Unaweep Canyon > Main Canyon: Un… > Quarry Wall Com… > Quarry Proper

Description

Slippery Trout ascends jugs to start, but holds will get progressively smaller and more "slippery." A thought provoking crux and tense body positioning will bring you to the chains. Clip the anchors AFTER grabbing the top edge for a full pucker factor experience.

Location

It is on the East face within The Quarry itself. This gets morning sun and afternoon shade. Belay off of flat the platform below.

Protection

3 bolts.
