Finger Crimping Good

FA Chris Miller & Loren Scott, June 1997, Extension: Chris Miller, July 2001
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

The climb originally ended at the ledge (5.11a), but the extension continues up and left by clipping the anchor (use a long sling) and then punches out the bulge above on horrible crimps to anchors at the top of the formation.

Long and technical in nature, this packs a lot of crimping into it's length despite being broken up by the ledge midway. The extension is still cleaning up some, so don't be surprised if some small holds break off.

Location

Starts just left of

Drug Of Choice

at ground level and climbs the thin, gently overhanging face on small but positive holds to a large ledge system and then continues up and left to the top of the rock.

Protection

7 bolts, chain anchors
