The Godfather

Named for the one and only Godfather of Dacite, Colin Cox, who first pioneered dacite sport climbing in Flagstaff. Colin has developed many crags and classic routes in and around town. Big thanks for his efforts!

Start up the layback flake passing three bolts to an obvious stance. As per classic dacite, this is where the line wanders a bit. Instead of climbing straight up to the fourth bolt make your way left following a crack/flake to a small pocket. From the pocket move back right through a litte bit of exposure to the arête and a good stance to clip the bolt around the corner. Climb up through the techy crux to the big hole and ride the arête to the summit. “Don’t forget to top it out!” -ccox

For a cool photo-op you can stand on the small ledge right on the top of the overhang/arête!

Starts off the large landing next to the downed tree. Climb the striking feature. 

6 bolts to a chain anchor with fixed carabiners.
