Mountain Beast, 5.11a

2nd - 60’- 5.11a/ This pitch is mostly bolted and is the crux of the climb. Follow a few bolts up nice holds angling right. Then follow the bolt line back left on a hard slab/edge traverse. This pitch no doubt has gotten tougher with time as the edges have given way to vertical sandy slab. However there are more bolts than what Handren reports and thus the traverse is well protected. Move into the alcove below the next corner left and fixed belay. Mountain Beast, 5.11a, 8 Pitches, Eagle Wall, Red Rocks, March, 2010
