Anniversary

Half crack leading to a challenging crux move to gain the horizontal ledge for foot placement. Continue up and left on sloped friction ledges to gain final finish straight up nice spaced hand and foot placements. I solo'ed this on a petzl shunt and top roped it five days later with a friend. The name derives from my ascent on my parents 58th wedding anniversary on August 24th.

Route is next half-crack to the right of Solo Crack (5.4). See photo for route. Area between red marks is the crux. Route finishes where boulder is resting on top.

On top rope I used a #2 and #3 Camelot on the large boulder on top and a long webbing to a small but secure pine tree. Route will take pro but remember this is soft/chossy sandstone.
