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.
