Party Time

FA B. Molzon, 1977
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

One of the nicest moderate trad routes in the Red, and it takes good gear if you have it. The first pitch takes a few larger cams (perhaps to 4") and the second pitch a standard light rack. Bolted belay/rap anchors make this climb a good first multi-pitch.

The ledge where the anchors are to end the first pitch is pretty small and can hold 4 people max.

Location

On the far right side of Fortress Wall, where it faces west you can walk right to a point where the first of two huge left-facing corners becomes visible. This is Party Time (5.7). Do not pass this and start up the second corner by mistake (Lost In Space, 5.10)

Protection

A few large cams for the leaning start, then head for the top on a standard rack. With a few longer slings, this could be done in a single pitch. But the bolted anchors make breaking it up quite easy.
