The Trooper

5.10a, Trad, Alpine, 100 ft (30 m),  Avg: 2.3 from 4 votes
FA: FRA Eric Salmi 2008
Utah > Northeast Utah > Uinta Mountains > Hayden Peak > Iron Hayden Wall
Warning Access Issue: Located in a National Forest Fee Area DetailsDrop down

Description

This route is in a left facing dihedral with a crack in it. Good, steep crack climbing characterizes this route although the rock leaves something to be desired. If you lead this you will definitely be the Trooper. Many climbers will just want to top rope it after climbing a neighboring route. The protection is adequate but somewhat spaced due to the loose blocky nature of the crack.

Location

Corner crack just right of Powerslave.

Protection

Standard Rack. May want to clip the last bolt on Powerslave.

Descent: Rappel from a nearby anchor.
