Hot Chocolate

Hot Chocolate is one of the best 5.12s in the canyon! A trivial start leads to some hard crimping on patina plates. Pull the big move to the huge hueco, and keep it together through the thin upper crux. This sports new ASCA glue-ins and Mussy hook anchors as of April 2019.

This climbs directly faces the parking lot and is just to the left of the obvious baby bun formation. It ascends the tall brown face with a large hueco dead in the middle of the route. You have to scramble up into the cave underneath The Living Years to access this climb.

5 quickdraws.
