Sandstone Overcast, 5.9

Sandstone Overcast, 5.9

2nd Pitch- 150’- 5.8/ This is another fine pitch although less varnished. Follow the wide crack above the ledge as it arches left and leave it for a straighter line on better rock above, making a bee line for the shallowest section of the long roof line above. As you get right below the roof, the rock becomes really bomber. You can protect the pull with a crack under the roof and make a fun move up and over. Continue up to a small belay stance below the massive roof above. (photos) Sandstone Overcast, 5.9, 4 Pitches, Lower Solar Slab, Oak Creek Canyon, Red Rocks, NV, February, 2009
