Cowboy Bob Goes to Zion, 5.10-

1st Pitch- 45m- 5.10+/ Supposedly the few who have climbed this route bypass the first two pitches. It was evident that these first two pitches had not seen much if any traffic but that could be said for most of the route. They are as worth doing as the rest. The first pitch is mostly a hand crack and considerably easier than several of the pitches above despite the 5.10+ rating on Bryan’s topo in his guidebook. Slip into a chimney below the First Tower of Fate and left of the obvious twin crack feature you are climbing on pitch four. Follow the obvious crack up to a ledge. The loose patina will not offer you much confidence for any holds outside the crack, but the crack itself protects well. Gear belay at a ledge below another crack/corner.
