Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures ***** RAIN AND WET ROCK ***** The sandstone in Zion is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN ZION during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp (and not powdery dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.

Description

A pure adventure route that goes to the rim and beyond roll a fatty blunt for the summit of Sub peak of Bridge Mnt. You deserve it.

If you don't like the beach mannn... Move on over to another route. Cuz this MFer has sand.

5.8 PG. 1st pitch chimney, bong hits and a lil OW. 2 bolt chain anchor

5.10+ 2nd is the crux good luck (once protected by a baby knife blade(and whipped on) now has a bolt) one can aid past this part at c1 smoke weeeed 2 bolt chained anchor

If you made it this far you survived the sandiest pitches of the route.

5.9 3rd is the "kush" pitch 35m open book hand crack. 2 bolt chained anchor

5.9 4th will clean up with more traffic 2 bolts lead you on an exposed floor dropping chimney thing to a short hand crack and a finger scissor hash roof. (Note. There is an anchor below the roof with blue tat. Do no use this, pull the roof to a good belay ledge.) 2 bolt chained anchor

5.8 PG 5th pitch steep left and up Ganga treed filled chimney thing. 2 bolt chained anchor

[Originally the route stopped here]

But one day me and another partner (Crazy Kevin) pushed the route to the summit.

From pitch 5 hike back and right up to a ledgish thing walk back to 5.9 chimney. 2 bolt tat anchor.

From here you can un-rope and scramble to the top of Sub peak of Bridge Mnt. And smoke your blunt with a view! After the summit it is a short walk to Crawford Arch heading west on the sand bench.

The entire route can be rapped with a single 70m

Pitches are 35m or shorter.
