Katie's Cap

V1 PG13, Boulder, 13 ft (4 m),  Avg: 2 from 1 vote
FA: Fisher Corbin
Colorado > Grand Junction… > Unaweep Canyon > Gateway Vicinit… > Salt Creek Cany… > Salty Pasta

Description

Katie's Cap climbs a short #1 to #5-sized crack. Jam or layback off the ground until you can get over the rim and into the wide bit for the topout. 

Walk off on the back side

Bring a pad (a trifold is nice) and a solid spotter. Falling would send you down the hill into the scree.

Location

Head about a third of the way up the hill on the north side of Salty Canyon. It is within one of the larger boulder piles and is marked by a healthy juniper growing out of the sandstone a few feet uphill from the climb.

Protection

Crashpads and a spotter.
