Crimson King, 5.11+

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Crimson King- Single- 5.11+/
Speaking with the locals who have spent some time on this stellar finger crack, it definitely leans towards the 5.12 grade. I had a hard time with it, but it is a striking varnished finger crack by Zion standards. I felt the lower third was the crux. Mostly all fingers for the first two thirds. I lay backed the last third on the off-setting edge. Must do, but it will work you. Rap off fixed station. Dow

""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
