Full Metal Jockstrap, 5.9R

3rd Pitch- (100’) 5.9/ The crux and best pitch of the climb. Sustained vertical straight up and trending right, hard to see pins at times as they are quite spread out and rusted (where the "R" rating comes into play). Little if any opportunity for gear with the exception of hooking a feature with a clove hitch here or there. More run out towards the top versus the bottom. Nice thin positive varnish though, makes it feel more like 5.8. Full Metal Jockstrap, 5.9R, 4 Pitches, Island in the Sky, Snow Canyon State Park, October, 2007
