The Shaft

Description

This route is a Wiener Lake classic and considered by some to be the best on the wall. Start in an obvious overhung hand crack and jam to burly exit moves. Tape is a good idea as the inside of the crack is covered with toothy nubbins. Jugs and powerful moves will get you to a right facing dihedral and then the first set of chains. The second pitch starts with moderate climbing before moving into a powerful, bouldery crux midway through the pitch. Save some juice for the bulgy moves to the top anchor. Most climbers link both pitches. If doing this a 70m rope is mandatory.

Location

Center of the right cave, look for the right arching hand crack.

Protection

18 bolts, chain anchors
