Extra Texture, 5.7R | [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ] | |||
1st Pitch- (70’) 5.7R/ Start just left and below Stepping Out . Locate a pin that you really don’t need and head up straight on easy ground through a corner and locate the 2nd pin. From there start to traverse aggressively out left aiming for the remaining pins as you spot them amongst the varnish which can be a challenge. Eventually the angle eases up and it is a race to the chains above and left of the cave. There are more pins that continue to your left that represent Will’s Rush, the first established route in Snow Canyon. As before mentioned, it is not advisable to top rope Extra Texture without the draws in to protect a fall. If one person is climbing, he/she will need to be lowered and re-climb the route to clean it. "Sand Dunes" Area, Island in the Sky, Snow Canyon State Park, January, 2007 Comments |  Image Data
