5 out of 5 stars Out of Control

With Danny Urioste. This is one of the better single pitch crack climbs in Red Rock. From fingers to hands to fists to even an arm bar assisted by a heel-toe. What a diverse crack. Two cruxes. The flaring pod below the roof protects with a C4#3 which steals a solid fist away and requires a few technical off-width moves. The roof above has hands underneath, but when you go to pull it, takes a bit to figure it out. Feet are not obvious nor real positive. Your right hand can make a great grab deep in allowing you to secure a decent finger lock high above and heave on up to your knees at least. Awkward move. Fantastic crack complimented with several other good pitches nearby. I recommend a triple from .5-2, double to 3, single 4. Set up for a single 70m.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome Route!!

This was an amazing climb which requires a full range of crack techniques to climb. The roof section at the end of p1 was awesome!! Easily rappelled with a single 70m rope.

5 out of 5 stars awesome!

tough stuff, a real test of overall ability- gotta have it in everything from off fingers to offwidths, and then there's a roof at the end!
