Wagassa, 5.8

Wagassa, 5.8

2nd Pitch- (50’) 5.8/ As with the first pitch, this is a longer pitch than stated in the guide book. Traverse out left to a bolt that is kind of hard to see at first. Work straight up vertical on real positive varnish holds to the 2nd bolt. This route is not climbed that often, so use caution and check the holds for fractures, etc. Once you hit that 2nd bolt, start an angled traverse back right through yet another bolt. It is a little run out but you can clove hitch some larger acmes if concerned. Then it is quite run out from the 3rd bolt to the anchor. Wagassa, 5.8, 3 Pitches, West End, Snow Canyon, June, 2007

Re: This looks pretty extreme...

all positive stuff, just a matter of trust...which can be slim at times...3 bolts for 50', no trad placements.....one of those bolts is moving already as well...best to just not fall on any of this route really....all too soft....but super position in the canyon...I think the best views are here...cheers Dan
