Description
God Mode is one of the best 5.14s in the country and one of the most impressive lines on the Western Slope.
This incredible long route tackles the biggest, most noticeable feature on the Second Band and maybe the whole cliff. Start by climbing 70 feet of amazing technical 5.12b (
The Anvil
), then bust out the 5.13 extension that ends halfway through the 40 foot roof (
The Blacksmith
). Cop a good rest at the chains, and hand traverse perfect edges to the base of the prow and the steepest part of the roof. Power through underclings and a perfect pocket with loads of campusing and upside down climbing to reach a bad crimp at the lip. Pull a crux lockoff to a cobble, and mantel with difficulty to a precious stance on the incredibly exposed headwall. Tiptoe up cobbles to a jug and a 1 bolt anchor at the top of the Second Band.
Location
This climbs the biggest roof on the Second Band and is the full extension to the popular 5.12
The Anvil
right in the middle of the sector.
Protection
