Vie in Oregon del grado selezionato

A devious mid-section crux and a brief mono encounter surrounded by a much easier opening and conclusion characterises this route. Get it while it's still standing. The flaky jugs for the first two bolts surely won't be there for long.

The best route of its grade at Smith. With a dynamic crux coming near the top, a climber needs to be careful to avoid getting pumped on the technical crimps and pockets below. The route is perfect in pretty much every way. The falls are clean and the climbing exciting, and this route should be on every climber's tick-list.

Although the route extends to the top of the cliff, the upper section is rarely done. Both pitches together bump the grade to a very pumpy 5.12c with a couple of good runouts at the top. Most ascents of this route stop at the anchors halfway up (5.12a).

Extension to Panic Attack. Clip the anchors of PA and continue past 4 more bolts on steep, technical arete climbing with good whipper potential.

A pitch high up, start either on the first two pitches of "Scorpio", or better "Highway 97".

Upgraded from 5.11 as many holds broke higher up.

The first pitch only.

Pro to 2".

Optional pro to 1".
