The Offering Scam
V3 boulder · 10 ft · ★★★☆
First ascent: unknown
Description
The Offering Scam is a pretty good problem with some funky movement to start that ends with some quality movement on good stone. This problem is found on the northwest corner of the boulder. Sit start (there is an option to stand start but the sit is more logical) using a good undercling and left hand crimp. Move up and make some pretty good moves using sidepulls and crimps. The crimps at the top are great and the mantle to finish is exciting- especially with a ankle breaker boulder below you should you blow it.
Location
west face of the boulder, generally shadier than the rest of the climbs
Protection
A spotter and a pad is pretty nice.
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.
