The Road Less Traveled

Description

If you have bothered to drive all the way up the winding canyon and battle past the bikers riding the white line, then CLIMB THIS ROUTE!!! Starta the same as for

The Pump and The Pendulum

, but after you clip the second bolt, start heading left into the small cutout and good underclinging jugs. Head straight up for a tricky crux that might leave your pinkie screaming to gain a jug rest. Then, fun climbing, including a deadpoint off two crimps (redpt. crux), leads out to the last bolt and over the roof.... A fun little mantle awaits you at the top before the anchors. There are sustained 5.12 climbing with a couple hard moves in the middle, the technical crux isn't too bad, the redpoint crux is fighting the pump towards the end.

Location

This is in the middle of the roadside crag in Deer Creek Canyon.

Protection

6 bolts, 2-bolt anchor with chains.
