Description
This route is called "Sandwich" because it's sandwiched in between a couple of other routes on the Hardware Wall. If you're doing this route, there's a good chance you've done everything else on Hardware Wall and you might not mind the slightly contrived nature of this line. Contrived, because the route could be made easier by using holds and rests on adjacent climbs. This was avoided on the FA. Feel free to take advantage of all of these easier variations, just know that the FA didn't use them.
Start to the left of Power of Silence, staying left of the easier climbing on that line. Rest up on good holds down and left of the first PoS pod before launching into the blocky roof that comprises the first crux (about v6). The pod rests on PoS weren't used during the FA.
After this first crux, you will cross through Vice Grip. There's a good, unavoidable rest on Vice Grip jugs. The second crux starts at the bolt above this rest. You could avoid the second crux by traversing left low with your feet on the on Bath Salt Laker holds and the bolt above your waist. The FA avoided this easier variation and traversed left high, with the bolt after the Vice Grip rest below waist level (about v7). The traverse deposits you into a shallow dihedral. Climb from there up, past the first set of anchors through the steep, demanding headwall (maybe v7). Again, on the headwall, avoid holds on both Soul Crusher and Voyager One.
Variations:
- Half Sandwich, 13c. Start to first set of anchors
- Soup (aka, Vicewich), 13b. Vice Grip start to Sandwich second anchor
- 12b/c: Vice Grip start to Sandwich first anchor. Actually a much cleaner line than the original Vice Grip.
- Other options: Sandwich start to Vice Grip or Voyager One anchors, Soul Crusher start to Sandwich second anchor, Sandwich start to PoS, etc.
- Skipping the second crux by climbing low (on Bath Salt Laker holds) drops the grade about a letter.
