West Temple, III, 5.8

This last 50’ to the top of the ridge (not the actual summit) is not very aesthetic from a climbing perspective. It is sort of a chimney with a flake sticking out in the middle. Few if any of the moves were 5.8 as the route is “officially” rated. Move up and place a piece or two if you want on the side of the flake, then angle back right over one angle bolt and then two more bolts take you to the belay/rappel station. Bring up the 2nd before you top out to avoid rope-sand drag. Southwest Ridge, West Temple, III, 5.8, Zion National Park, April, 2007
