Smash Mouth, 5.11+

3rd Pitch- 20m- 5.11/ If not for the last meter or so of the fourth pitch, this third pitch would be the crux pitch of the route. This part of the splitter is sustained with few rests. Start out thin, C3 thin. Follow the crack as it bends left and up mostly placing C4 .4’s. About half way up you can start placing a few .5’s and then 1’s help finish it off. The last third creates a sort of double lip that takes C4 .75's 1’s and allows for a small hand jam here and there for a bit of rest. The finish is awkward as you face climb out right to the hanging fixed belay. Smash Mouth, 5.11+, Bridge Mountain, Zion National Park, May, 2011
