Description
Hang 'Em High is an excellent roof climb that is well worth the effort! If it was in the Trapps it would be a mega classic. It consists of quality bouldering in the sky with a great backdrop of the Trapps and Skytop. I'm only describing the last pitch because the first is a total dirt mess. I would suggest rapping down to the obvious belay station about 50 feet below the lip of the giant roof. We used a .4, .5, and .75 for the belay however bigger cams would probably work as well.
From the belay station start climbing up on the right side of the black streak. Cross the black streak to the base of the roof. The climbing off the belay is secure 5.8ish with no gear. At the base of the roof a number 6 Camalot is the only protection available. From here make some solid 5.10R moves to get established in the roof. Pull some more big monkey jug moves to the meat of the climb. Build a mini anchor, and traverse slightly right on sloppery pinch like holds culminating in a blind throw to a sharp jug. There used to be a pin at this point but its gone now. Maybe it will be replaced? A crappy purple c3 might hold a fall here? That's it though. From here work your way through more 5.12 hero climbing to the summit.
