Route 66

Description

Route 66 starts by reaching above a cave and hoisting yourself up on good holds but not much for feet (5.10). Once over the cave, a short section of easy climbing will take you to a large ledge and an anchor. Clip the anchor with a runner and continue into the meat of the climb. Mostly good crimps and edges on a slightly overhanging face will generate a healthy pump if the grade is near your limit. There is a good rest high up which will allow some recovery. Get back what you can because there's still some hard climbing left to go and not-so-obvious sequences. A 60m rope will get you back to the ground with a couple feet to spare.

Location

Route 66 is on the left face of the Mordor Wall (shared with No Nuts and Dad's Nuts). Look for the short cave and a line of bolts above. Gets more shade than most of the climbs at Ozone.

Protection

Bolts. Bring a runner to clip the midway anchor or back-clean it.
