The Hurt

The Hurt begins on a smooth section of slab with glacial polish and the first bolt is maybe 40 feet above the belay stance (PG13).  Continue up the polished slab to a 5.9 mantel after the fourth bolt.  The rock above is a little bit steeper and is more featured.  Three more bolts lead to a nice belay stance with a 2-bolt anchor with chains, just below a small roof/overlap.  There are three 5.9 cruxes on this pitch.   (5.9, 7 lead bolts)

The second pitch climbs above the left side of the belay and past three bolts to a 5.10a crux.  Then move slightly left and past four more bolts (5.8/5.9) and up a right-facing groove.  Climb above the groove past a couple of horizontal cracks that accept small cams, then up a rounded arete that leads to a left-trending ramp.  At the top of the ramp and to the right of a small tree/bush is a 2-bolt anchor with chains.  The rock is a little bit gritty in a few spots on the second pitch (compared to the bulletproof rock below) but it just needs to be climbed some more.  (5.10a, 7 lead bolts plus small cams)

140-foot rappel to pitch 1 anchor, then 200-foot rappel to dirt.

This route is left of Darkened World and just left of an arching, left-facing corner system.  Walk up and left up the slab to a belay stance about 100 feet above the base, where the climbing begins.

Minimum 7 draws for lead bolts
