Sweet Thin, 5.9

Sweet Thin, 5.9

6th Pitch- 90’- 5.9/ This is an unique varnished chimney/flaring crack, involving almost as interesting climbing as the previous pitch. Start out in chimney mode, and then start to use the outside edges of this deep flaring crack, protecting when feasible with large gear. The footing is quite slick as you maneuver this funky pitch until it quits flaring and you jam and arm bar to much easier ground. Traverse right and up to a fixed station on a large ledge. Sweet Thin, 5.9, 7 Pitches, North Brownstone Wall, Juniper Peak, Red Rocks, November, 2009
