Little Big Horn, 5.9+

  • Little Big Horn- 90’- 5.9+/
    •  Not to be confused with Big Horn on the Spectrum Wall. My particular partner this day took the biggest whipper of his career here. Wish my body could attest that was no longer than any I took. So this pitch can be a bit tricky on lead. The rock on this side of Lost Creek Canyon is not near as good as it is on the other side. This route starts out up easy ground until you hit a crack above that sucks you below a roof to the left. Enter the corner via the crux move (hard to protect while in awkward matching position) and turn the burly roof via a large reachy hold or two. Follow the varnished slab to the top and rappel off of a precarious large horn several meters to the left (rap slings-2008). Single rack to 2.5”.
