The Promise

Promise is one route left of

Beer Run

and offers similar climbing in a less overhanging venue. With two very technical crux bits, one down low and one below the finishing corner, this route has some of the cooler blue stone around.

While the finishing corner is nice, it's much easier than the rest of the route and requires that you have a 70-meter rope to get down from the anchors. Many people leave bail biners on the middle two bolts in the corner and lower off with a 60 meter cord.

This route can be recognized by the giant, resting hole at mid-height and follows faint streaks and corner systems up the tan and blue wall left of

Beer Run

. Start as for

Beer Run

then move left on the ledge to access the base of the route.

16 quickdraws and a 70-meter rope. A 60-meter cord only gets you down if you lower off a bolt or two below the anchor. Beware!
