This route links Zion Train to the upper face of Power Fingers and can be done in one spectacular, super long (70 meter) pitch.

Begin with Zion Train. Instead of moving left to the bolt belay, continue up and right on ledges to a steeper headwall with flakes (2 fixed pins, 10b/c) then face climb past 2 bolts (moving right at the second bolt) to join Power Finger for its last three bolts (5.10-) to the top.

This pitch currently has four fixed pins (re-driven/replaced May 2010). Without the pins it would warrant an R rating. All the old bolts have been replaced.

The rock quality is poor in a few sections, and be forewarned that you'll  be dealing with some loose rock, but the moves are interesting throughout, with good pro at the hard spots.

You can break it up into 2 pitches by moving left and belaying from a ledge on Zion Train, or use slings judicously and go for it in one pitch.(70 meter rope required)
