The Beast in Me

Description

The Beast in Me will certainly make you conjure up your inner animal.

The climbing starts off easy enough, but slowly builds in tempo as you reach the crux. Start by working up good holds to a flake. Layback up the flake using some smeary feet until you reach the stance below the route's only bolt. Breathe a sigh of relief knowing that this fixed protection will keep you safe as you get gnarled by the boulder problem above.

Be ready to snarl, clinch, and claw your way up the next 10 feet until you reach a jug which marks the end of the crux. If you've made it here clean you should have no problem hanging on for the next 15 feet of 5.10 climbing.

Location

This route starts on the rock ledge just left of the classic sport climb, Transcendence.

Protection

Cams,stoppers,and runners. Make sure you have plenty finger sized and smaller pieces.

One bolt at the crux and a newly replaced double bolt anchor
