Route 7

FA unknown
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Climb the hand crack in a left-facing corner to a big ledge. From here, face climb up following a seam to a small roof just below the top of the cliff.

An alternate easier start is to begin on blocks to the left, as for #6.

It is very possible to climb a 5.8 variation of the route by staying farther right of the seam above the ledge, and then traversing left under the roof.

Location

Route #7 in Chen/Wehner, as shown on

East side of Big Enchilada. From my old guide. .

This climb is also listed as Beverly #8 (5.11b) and Jackson #1 (5.11b).

Beverly's and Jackson's topos show a choice of blocky starts leading to the ledge. Jackson's version also exits the top farther left than in Wa3lt's or Beverly's photos.

Protection

TR from a 2-bolt anchor, reachable from the top, which was installed to prevent further damage to trees.

RPs & TCUs to a #3 cam, if leading.
