Description
King's Hand Right is the same as the King's Hand Left except for the second and third pitch.
Pitch 1 (5.8). Climb straight up the middle of the formation for 150 feet. There is a pin about 60 feet up roughly in the middle of the formation just after what I would call the second bulge. There are some more gear placements after that, but still a bit runout.
Pitch 2 (5.10a) Climb up and right past a good pin. There is a bomber nut just above it. Move into the left of the two dihedrals and onto the anchors. The only jug on the pitch is a bit smaller now. It came off in my partner's hand and is probably on Wall Street now.
Pitch 3. Head out left past a few pins and behind the formation.
Pitch 4. Climb chimney and cracks behind the formation until behind the fingers.
Rappel in two double rope rappells with 60m ropes.
Runout (8), sanding and heady. The most adventure you'll have on Wall Street.
Location
The King's Hand is directly above the Jaycee Campground on Potash Road approximately 3.9 miles south of Hwy 191. Park at the campground and walk south through the camp sites and find the easiest way onto the bench above the campground, then north to the base of the formation which looks more like a foot with a large middle toe (or middle penis).
Protection
