Routes as aid in Zion National Park

Awesome mix of mandatory freeclimbing, aiding leads to a boltladder to access the money pitches - C2/C3 on sandstone on an absurdly steep prow. This route comes complete with plush bivy and BBQ. Don't walk past it.

Lots of offset alloy nuts, offset micros (brassies and peanuts) as well as small totems keep things sensible on the aid cruxes of this route, take a good selection of hooks. Note the spicy free on P2 may be a showstopper for some parties.

Further beta see the supertopo Zion book and mountain project log.

Obviously the usual issues regarding sandstone - ie. needs to be dry, no camhooks.

In the middle of the west face there is a huge overhanging arch. Eye Shadow starts below and left of that arch and climbs the most obvious crack system for four pitches. The route moves left on a ledge then follows a seam to gain the bottom of a huge, rough bowl. Scramble up the bowl (several pitches) to gain a nice big ledge with a huge tree (Camp Burnstown, Guiana) at the base of a thin seam. The route then follows the seam up and through the eye for three pitches. Above the eye, move right and climb over a roof to a stance. Then, climb up and left to a stance atop a block. A pitch of class four leads to the base of a huge steep corner. Climb it to the top. It's fourth class from here.
