Watch me run it out and contemplate my decisions on this sketchy climb between two pillars.

So many good examples of difficult on-the-fly decision/risk assessment here. It's not easy to keep a level head on a climb like this, but you kept it together well. Nice one!

Sleeve of a Wizard is the name of the route, sitting above Moon Flower Canyon on the south side of the Colorado River. With the new development occuring on Kane Springs it will be interesting to see how access to this and other routes around that area are affected.

Thanks for sharing the route's name. I agree, hopefully climbers, petroglyph seekers, and canyon travelers don't lose access to this area because of the development.

I added the anchor in the late 90's. Someone had climbed it before me and rappelled off a single piece called a Teton, which is a weird discontinued passive T shaped piece. It would have been really scary to rap off it. I didn't feel right naming it because I didn't actually do the FA. I have never heard of that "Sleeve of a Wizard" name, but I guess it's as good as any. Cool video and good job on the climb!

Woah and just to arrive at some old slings getting the full desert sun every day. Even getting lowered down is spicy.

The wooden dowel rod that I used to keep the #4 cam retracted. The fishing wire that I used to attach it had broken.

Awesome vid. What's the name of the route?

@moabrockclimber88 4 ай бұрын

It's un-named. Which is too bad because it is a unique route and could be given a really cool name.
