Unnamed Hands to OW (Howe-Ross)

Description

This is the Unknown route 2 in Bloom's 2013 guidebook which is described as starting on a small ledge above a juniper. Starts on very thin hands and quickly transitions to fists and OW in a clean corner. At the end there is an awkward bulge which can be protected with a hand-sized piece at the back.

Location

About 20' left of power line. Up a clean right-facing corner on top of blocks above a juniper.

Protection

single pieces from BD #0.75 to #3 for the start, then several pieces up to BD #6. No more than doubles in any size required. A VG9 works well near the top of the OW, but it is adequately protected with a #6. Save a hand-sized piece for the end. Nice bolt anchors with rap rings.
