Description Suggest change

This is the Spice Tour of Rincon. Link Mind Over Matter into Bulging Codpiece in one mega, 48 meter pitch of sustained, runout, and technical climbing. This is a master class in how to climb in Eldo. It has everything that is intimidating about our beloved canyon; groundfall potential, thin and devious crimping, micro gear, funky overhanging climbing on heads up rock, and then a glorious and sustained runout voyage on beautiful featured slabs where falling is not a good options.

An onsight of this link-up would be a proud feat of mental and technical ability. I'm almost positive no one has done it yet. The gauntlet is laid down....

Location Suggest change

Start on Mind Over Matter, between the first pitch of Rincon and the Five-Ten Crack, then keep climbing straight up into Bulging Codpiece, and finish on the second pitch anchors of Rincon .

A 100 meter ropes gets you down. With a 70 meter rope, belay at the second pitch anchors of Rincon, and then do a double rap down. 

Protection Suggest change

A whole rack of RPs, nuts to large (no pun intended), and a single rack of cams. Place it all well, and it will be fine. Make some mistakes, and it will get serious fast.
