Ascent Notes for: The Northwest Corner - 5.11a Average Rating : 4.25/5

P1-2

First route at Eldo! Fun introduction to the variety of climbing and protection in this canyon's climbing.

Followed Erik up P1

did 11b variation, well worth it. Enjoy!

.11a but but not overly difficult

Really fun route, with awesome exposure. I should have done it long ago. Loads of old pins facilitate a "clip 'n go" style but keep the excitement level high all the same. I led the straight up variation on the crux pitch and didn't find the actual crux moves to be super hard, but the "5.9" traverse after the bolt nearly spit me off. The belay right after this is directly on the corner and is one of the coolest perches in Eldo. The long 5.8/5.9 pitch above is steep, exposed, and really high quality too.

This is one of my favorite Eldo routes. It has excitement, exposure and variety.

Cool, it's been upgraded.
