January Embers

This may be an existing route, but it’s not listed in the guidebooks, and no one else I’ve spoken with seems to know the name. If you have any information on this route, let me know, I’d love to give proper credit where it’s due. With that said...

This is a fun little moderate! Easy climbing up several sloping ledges to a short but thought provoking headwall.

Just beyond Star Plunge, but not quite to Sun Buttress. You’ll see a thin pinnacle, slightly detached from the proper canyon rim. A small gap must be crossed in order to reach the pinnacle, which is easily done with a bit of scrambling.

Possibly next to Big Dick?(there is a set of bolted anchors about 15ft away above a bolted arete down-river on the pinnacle)

Hand sized cams, stoppers

Natural anchor

Belay from good ledge above route
