Description
Say your prayers? Naaaah, you can save them. The
Rosary
offers salvation so you won't need any
Hail Marys
.
Zig zag up big steps and blocks following a hand crack to a small ledge. Climb above another set of blocks and hit a steep face split by a fingertip seam. Pop in some gear and fire this first crux. Finish about 10 feet above at another resting ledge. From this point two options exist, the left exit is a clean, shallow diheral, and the right is a steeper, more brittle, but slightly easier squeeze. Take some time here to reflect upon your spiritual growth and remark on past flails, when in doubt:
Choose The Right
.
Build an anchor above using a tree and cracks. Walk off to the west.
Overall The Rosary
is a well-protected route that offers a nice variety of moves separated by two good rests. The route can be a bit of a grunt, but climbs pretty solid rock and goes into the shade rather early. The best time to climb
The Rosary
is on Easter, Lent, or Palm Sunday.
Location
The Rosary
is just before the
Fortress Area
of
The Watchtower
It sits tucked away in a north facing corner just right of
Spirit Prison
.
Protection
A single rack to a #3 bd, stoppers, slings, and a cordelette. BYOA.
