Kung Fu Fighter, 5.11

2nd Pitch- 30m- 5.11/ This pitch is the crux of the climb and involves a full on sustained large fist splitter crack (after the first few meters of easier climbing). I wear large sized gloves and could not hold a straight fist most of the slightly angled splitter. Most climbers (except for those with extra-large sized hands) will be required to leverage their arms deep in the crack to keep stepping up. C4# 4’s will be far more useful than C4 #3’s which is an indicator of the true size of this crack. A fixed hanging belay is to the left. Another fixed belay for Pu Corner (aptly named!) is below and left. Kung Fu Fighter, 5.11-, 3 Pitches, Kung Fu Theater, Zion National Park, September, 2012
