Cloudwalker, 5.10a, 3 Pitches

Cloudwalker, 5.10a, 3 Pitches

1st Pitch- (200’) 5.8/ I ran the start of this route out 40’ on easy terrain to a bolt placed on the wall over the corner. Gear is easily placed from there, medium to large, until you reach rap anchors at the top of the corner. I never experienced a crux move and the whole pitch felt more like 5.6 by Snow Canyon standards. Older routes (pins) are more difficult than newer routes (bolts). This is a general rule thumb no matter where you climb but particularly for Snow Canyon. You will pass two mid station anchors en route. One used for a mid rap station and another used to make a top rope practice pitch for the local guiding company. Cloudwalker, Circus Wall, Island in the Sky, Snow Canyon, June, 2007
