5.11+ trad · 100 ft
First ascent: T.F., M.W. (2025)
Description
A beautiful varnished overhung crack high above Icebox. Serves as the most proper finish to Swing Shift.
Location
On the 5.9 chimney pitch of Swing Shift, stay in the chimney to its very end. Place good gear in the crack and do a 5.9 traverse left to an anchor below the impressive varnished dihedral.
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.
