Immaculate Conception, 5.10+

Immaculate Conception, 5.10+

4th Pitch- 35m- 5.10+/ Bryan calls this route 5.10+ and this is the crux pitch, but by Zion standards, I still did not feel the + part even on this pitch. This is the more suspect rock however of the entire route. Move the belay down to the other side of the notch. Climb up and right to a flake. Climb the flake up and back left into a finger crack. I used a lot of small cams to protect this pitch. Follow this finger crack to a nice dark hand crack above. Ascend the hand crack up to a small ledge below a short wide crack up and left. You can use large or small gear to build your belay on this ledge or continue up and left over the next easy crack to a broader ledge, where your 2nd will be out of view. There is a broken fixed piece of gear (2011) up and right of the first ledge which is not on route. Immaculate Conception, 5.10+, 6 Pitches, Right Mary, Zion National Park, April, 2011
