Description Suggest change

The most approachable of the lines left of the Beckey Rt., it was first attempted, ground up by Chris Harmston back in the 90s. I first worked on it around 7 years ago, adding a couple of bolts while bending blades and beaks in the bottoming quartzite seams. Not wanting to beat it up any further, Noah Bigwood and I finished equipping the pitch from the top down, a couple of years later.

This is definitely one of the more unique and sequential routes out there. Similar to the Beckey Rt., it climbs lines of tilted quartzite fins on a granite slab, but the crack never really opens up. It wears you down with a series of cruxes separated by rests not quite good enough to do more than keep you in the game.

Location Suggest change

Just right of "Out of the Question".

Protection Suggest change

6 bolts and a 2 bolt anchor plus gear up to a #1 Camalot in general. Specifically, a #4 Peanut is key while brass offsets and micro cams are highly recommended.
