North Guardian Angel [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
North Guardian Angel
This is the crack mentioned as 5.6 in Climbing Magazine, but much more like 5.4 or scramble grade. There is a rap/belay station at the top. Very scenic climb stuck between Northgate Peaks and the Subway Canyon, incredible views for sure. North Guardian Angel, Zion National Park, May, 2007

and these domes are only so kind as to remind you every "step" of the way....never imagined I would be contemplating 5th class moves so carefully....or that "bushes" would serve as my bomber pro on a route....cheers

~45-55 degree slab:
on granite = 5.5 - 5.7
on Entrada sandstone = 5.9 (desperate!)

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
