Pro Choice, 5.11a

2nd Pitch- 100’- 5.10b/ The grade of this pitch might be a typo in Handren’s book. We did not feel any of this pitch was above 5.9. Two bolts protect a small overhang up and right. This is the crux move (5.9) of the pitch. Once over this overhang, trend right over varnished ground working your way up easy ground to a fixed belay. You have a tendency to want to follow a seam straight up, but need to keep traversing out right almost to the right side of the wall. From this belay is the double rope (60m) rappel descent I recommend. In 2010 you will need to leave one additional biner on these hangers. This is a much cleaner rap option than trying to rap High Anxiety. If one climbs to the top of High Anxiety, it raps way out left for its descent. Trying to rap the route (High Anxiety) itself is not a good option. Pro Choice, 5.11a, 4 Pitches, Brownstone Wall South, Juniper Canyon, Red Rocks, NV, January, 2010
