Not on a Weak Day

FA Ken Duncan and Dede Humphrey, 2015

Description

Classic! Not on a Weak Day is a challenging route that is in your face with a little bit of everything. Classic hand and fist stacks are followed by a powerful and tenuous lieback then an overhanging face at the top. It has one of the best sections of offwidth on the Front Range. Prior to the FA we checked out Randy Leavitt on YouTube to get pointers on hand and fist stacking.

P1) 5.11. Climb the obvious overhanging offwidth to a stance, power up the lieback passing two bolts to another stance, then angle right and up passing two more bolts to the anchors. Save the number four for the top.

Location

On the upper tier of the main cliff above Totem Tower, it is located on the left wall of the gash left of

Swingtime

. It is immediately right of The Outer Edge. See photo.

Approaches:

  1. Climb

Levitation

or one of the other central slab routes, then scramble up to the base of the route.

  1. Climb

Spare Rib

, and continue past the anchors up to the base of the route.

  1. Walk left around the west end of Main Crag. Head up to the base of the cliff then follow cairns angling up and right in a trough. Scramble up behind

Totem Tower

and up to the base of the route.

Protection

Four bolts and a few cams (0.75 to 2.5 inches), two new style #5 Camalots for the OW, and a 4 or 4.5 for the top.
