Change Up, 5.9

1st Pitch- 160’- 5.7/ A fantastic varnished corner sustained at the grade for Red Rocks. Place gear at will, using the face to help balance your corner moves, thus the grade. You eventually come to a good belay ledge about 30’ below the arch. You can set up an easy gear belay here or go ahead and traverse right to Arch Enemy’s bolted belay.

Re: that's great Dow but...

ahhh...here is my report to Pat...I will just copy and paste...Joe and I are now resigned to wait until April damn it...don't need anymore practice hiking back there... "we got rained out, sat at the base of the route for 1.5 hrs, until it started raining....just trying to pretend we could get started...takes 2.5 hrs just to get to the base of Eagle dance. The weather that far back in the canyon is quite different as you can imagine than out front"..on the good news front, Stacy and I are heading out to the Phalanx of Will this weekend...new stuff indeed

Re: that's great Dow but...

you will like Radek...next St. George trip...in the remote section of no mans' land called the Arizona Strip. But to get to it, you actually start in the town proper of St. George and need a 4wd with high clearance. Huge limestone tower. Glen Burke started it, Chad and Todd Perkins mostly developed it. Like 35 route variations most requiring a 70m rope! Some trad, mostly bolts...many 5.13-5.14's. Will leave those for you and your rope gun to report on. Cheers.
