Description

The obvious sport route between the unknown 5.8+ and the 5.7 finger crack. The rock is a bit crumbly, but the moves are fun. Shares an anchor with the 5.7 finger crack to the right.

Location

Between the 5.8+ offwidth route and the 5.7 finger crack. Easily identifiable with bolts every 4 feet at the bottom.

Protection

6 bolts.

Another photo to help ID the start, from the canyon bottom it's much shorter than you might think, but obvious once you are up close.

The start of the 5.9 sport.

Thanks for the info. Id defer to community. The only way i could, IMO, see 5.8 is staying up and left towards the other set of anchors. Does it have a known name? Nov 20, 2020

If, when you edit the FA section, you put the number 105788084 inside of double brackets instead of typing Darren's name, it'll result in his name being a link. It's a neat feature - try it out! (In other words, try entering that number with "[ [" and "] ]" on either side but DON'T have the space between the brackets like I do here)

If I recall correctly from when he posted about putting it up, he never gave a name for it, if. Hence, my edit recommendation to call it "Unnamed..." versus "Unknown..." Pedantic, I know... Nov 20, 2020
