Description

A nice sport venture up the north face of a small detached spire, which offers a good diversity of cranking up featured, vertical, orange rock. This adds another good option for the Ultimates sport circuit, and although isolated, is well worth seeking out. The line ends below the spire's summit, as the final band of sugar rock was of distinctly lower quality. 

Location

On the orange north face of a small, detached spire that rises above a steep shrubby slope a couple of minutes out of the main wash. See the pic for reference. 

Protection

12 bolts to clip-and-lower anchors.

[Hide Comment] all the stars with the crux over confidence inspiring stone. don’t forget to turn around and look up canyon when you’re at the chains (or on some of the no hands rests), the view from the top puts zion to shame, rad! May 29, 2022
