True Religon

Description

Get into the alcove on the southeast face of Parachute (see Alcove 5.9 route for directions). True Religion starts at the climbers right corner of the angled slab out of the alcove. It is about 15 feet of true 5.10c where you lay back and smear with the feet up the slightly overhanging corner crack. It is an amazing finger crack and feels totally solid with good depth and a sharp corner. The scary part for me was the feet at the exit of the overhang onto the main southeast face. Once on the face it follows the hand and finger crack ~5.9 up to where all the southeast face pitches end, at the second pitch that takes you up to the top of Parachute.

Pitch 2 starts left of the corner between the south face and the southeast face.

Protection

I TR'd it after climbing up the Alcove 5.9 route, but small Camalots #0.25-.5 for the alcove crack and up to #2 Camalot for face crack. You can actually test your pro to see what works for you at the top of the slab before you commit to the corner crack.
