Description
BEHOLD! An ultimately legendary king line has been delivered to the Zions crag thanks to local legend Enoch Hopkinson.
This line towers over the crag tempting you to climb this route. Although the “chossy” and sharp history of Zions crag may have discouraged many, Exaltation offers a line that is designed to give you the climbing stoke you desire.
It has a delicate balance of power and precision as you weave your way up the 30 degree face. Start with a lovely in-cut crimp and bump up a powerful arete to set up for a throw you swear is impossible. Climb daintily through the “easier” middle section where you are confronted with a heroic crux where you have to summon your inner most legendary self to hit the matchbox crimp. Don’t lose your cool as you climb jugs to a “casual” top out 20 feet off the deck!
This route is where legends are made.
Location
The stand start is directly right of Adam’s Apple. About head/shoulder height is a beautiful uncut crimp with a thumb catch for your right hand and start your left hand at the bottom of the obvious arete to the left (also about head shoulder height.) the climb bumps up to the arete and stays right of Adam’s apple the entire time. Finish directly at the apex of the wall where an obvious jug is waiting for you just before you top out.
