Swamp Thing

This neglected route would probably receive 3, maybe 4 stars if not for the location and amount of dirt.

Start by climbing 30 feet of unprotected choss to a bolt, then fire out the roof using a modified pocket and executing a blind reach. Some more hard to find holds lead to a few good crimps and an ok rest. Climb through a few bolts of easier difficulty in the beautiful blue/gray streak with hard route finding to another rest. Finish it off with one last technical crux to a jug right before the anchors with biners.

From the road, this line looks quite pretty and quite inviting, and it climbs very well albeit some dirt and choss. If this line were right next to

The 8th Day

, it would be one of the more popular technical 5.12s in the canyon.

From Meat Wall, hike upstream for a grueling 2 minutes to arrive at the route.

10-12 bolts.
