Mango Tornado

5.12c, Sport, 50 ft (15 m),  Avg: 3 from 4 votes
FA: Z Nadiak, Equipped Lightner
Wyoming > Lander Area > Sinks Canyon > Granite > Sanctuary

Description

Burly little route! Scramble up on sloping ledge to first bolt. Tough first move with a really high foot and a big move up and left. Easier climbing for two more bolts leads to difficult movement with a seam/crack feature and mini gaston block. Nice tension moves to the top. Less sustained than Foundation Wall climbs but harder movement. 

Location

Small pillar like feature at the top of the trail to the Sanctuary. Just to the left of the #5 crack of "Big Pink" and to the right of the chimney feature of "Pineapple Thunderstorm". Shares anchors with the awkward slab route with glue-ins on the left side of the pillar. You can climb this easy route to hang draws but be warned your rope can easily run over a sharp edge.

Protection

5 bolts to 2 bolt anchor with rings
