Worth The Weight

Worth The Weight is a tenuous and at times exciting modern test of Paradise Forks basalt skills. Unlikely footwork and exciting but defined power cruxes make up the first half of the route, enduro locker crack climbing will take you to the top.

Referenced in "Paradise Forks Rock Climbing" by David Bloom as one of the two 5.11 A1 routes on The Gold Wall. At some point J.Mattson climbed the left seem creating Pacing The Cage but the right seem remained un-freed. Eventually the initial seem was used to access The Serpent but the Freedom Project just sat in waiting.

Worth The Weight is thin and at times non-existent crack system just to the right of Pacing The Cage. The seam boulder problem will be obvious from top of Aqualung. Start on the twin seam stem box of Pacing The Cage. From the no hands ledge bust into the initial seam offset of The Serpent. Before you move up into The Serpent take improbable moves left and into the A1 boulder problems.
