Description:

The first pitch overhang at the start was the burley crux move. The route was sustained for the grade with steep face moves, well protected and offers a variety of weight transfer balance moves for the solid 5.9 leader. Route was enjoyable with great views. Bring up to 18 quick draws and cordellet for anchors. Can rappel the route with two ropes. Otherwise, walk off the backside of the Fortress, following the long narrow ridge that leads north back toward the saddle. Requires potentially dangerous 5th class scrambling.

Steel Crazy was a blast **The crux was on the 1st pitch start on the overhang. Route was well protected and offered a variety of transfer balance moves for the leaders.
