Description:
Tackles the lefthand line off of Lunch Ledge passes a groove on the first(hard to protect)(see variation) and the second passes a roof on the left and goes into 60 feet of unprotectable slab to a old bolt. Above the old bolt is 5.9 to a old anchor (hanging belay). Third pitch (crux) make a difficult mantle clip a bolt and traverse onto "the Zion Curtain of LCC" keep climbing to a roof. (4 pitch) pass the roof on the left and wander up to the summit pitch. A quite enjoyable route, would be alot funner if the bolts were bomber and not so, uhmmm, old. Route Update: All of the old bolts have been replaced...2 new bolted belays have also been added...enjoy!

Ascent Note
I enjoyed this route, much more than the Standard Thumb. Actually, I felt it to be almost as fun as the S Direct. If you use the AntiGroove Variation, you can avoid the flakey, groove that will decrease the quality of the route. I highly suggest this route to everybody. The more this gets climbed, the better It'll get. Make sure you bring a hand drill, to replace the bolts on this. There are only four bolts on the route, and the top one might not bust or maybe it will. The moves above the semi-hanging belay are freaky because the belay bolts are crud. Lets let the A.S.C.A. know about these, and they can use our donations to fix a kick-ass route. Spring Fever has another ZION CURTAIN!!! need I say more?
