Hanging Fifty

5.11b sport · 50 ft

First ascent: Jay Foley, Donna Longo, Milan Foley, 2015

Description

An interesting route worth doing. It starts off on small but good crimps, then the climb eases once you get to the lieback crack (there's a knee bar opportunity if you can find it!). Continue up the off-vertical slab to the anchor.

Location

Between a large crack and water streaks at the end of the corridor, away from the parking lot.

Protection

6 bolts

Access

The 13-mile Scenic Drive requires a timed-entry reservation October to May and has seasonal gate hours. Calico Basin and Kraft Mountain sit outside the Scenic Drive and need no reservation.

Wet rock: Aztec sandstone loses much of its strength when wet. Do not climb for at least 24 to 48 hours after rain or snowmelt, or holds break off and routes are permanently damaged.
