Nice Johnson!

Description

Climb the left side of the arch in a twin corner crack system. This beast starts with a bit of easier and spookier wide climbing (seems pretty hollow!) to slammer hands into thin laybacking and stemming with some switching between cracks. When the crack peiters out, plug some gear and go for a wild quest on thin face crimps and meet up with the roof. On the FA Ben pulled a lot of flakes off the face be warned the giant whip pendulum should be avoided. We tried to get him to place a bolt or just a 1/4 incher with no hanger but he wouldnt budge, do it in good style like Ben and you'll be awarded fully!

Location

On the opposite side of the river from Keg Springs. Find this area by finding the Cottonwoods campground next to the 5.12 OW roof. Hike upstream following a series of cairns till water meets the cliff band, above looms an arch with climbs up each side, meeting in the center at the anchor.

Protection

.2 - #6, save a six for the end once you reach the roof!
