Approach

 
Leading 30 Secs
 

This route is a large left facing dihedral on the right side of a pull off 4.8 miles from US Hwy 191 on Utah 279 (Potash Road).

Route Description

This is one of my favorite routes on Wall Street. A classic for jamming and layback. This route is straight up the crack, placing quite a bit of gear. I found my small and large hexes handy on this one. Had a young man come down to us at another route to borrow additional gear because he did not take enough up with him the first go. You need some larger pieces here. It is an 80’ rappel.

Essential Gear

A set of cams, nuts and some hexes. 60 meter Rope. Climbing shoes and harness. Sandstone colored chalk, etc.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
