Widowmaker, 5.10d
  • Widowmaker – 50’- 5.10d/
  • Todd has this as an “R” “X” route, but it is now well bolted to anchor. The crux is early on. You have this fine little short crack on the left you must parlay into quite a distance to the next feature. It was a joy.

    It's sad to see a one time test piece (which was led ground up) bastardized for another "safe" clip up. Pete VanSlooten and I put this up in the mid ninties it was more of a JOY us to have completed it in such fine style. It blows me away that the poster even knew about the style of the FA and decieded to bolt it anyway....unbelievable.... Please remove your hardware.

    This dude we nicknamed Rick "Podunk" put some bolts back here after the fact, thought they were already cut because they were put in so poorly? Anyway, a lame wanabe "pull on aid" climber dude. Most of us trad climbers prefer Zion, Moab and Red Rocks when in this part of the country. Cool little canyon to hang out in when hot as hell, but the rock quality and canyon is nothing to write home about. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it Mr. Podunk..er...I mean Mr. Phillips.

    ""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
