Wagassa, 5.8

1st Pitch- (120’) 5.6/ This route is only 40’! longer than the guidebook suggests with four bolts instead of five. 90% of the time I vouch for Todd Goss and his guidebook efforts, but this is one route he obviously was not familiar with himself and received poor 3rd hand information. The grading in general on this route if fairly mellow. This pitch, although steep and run out in places, contains plenty of positive options. The first bolt is 25’ off of the deck. Midway up you can place a #2 camelot. The third bolt is sort of hidden back into the corner. So the route varies right into the crack and then back left onto the face after this 3rd bolt. The bolt was so out of line, I used a long runner. There is no 5th bolt. Traverse left onto varnish edges and then up to the belay ledge. This station is fixed (2007) for your mid rappel station (using two ropes!). Wagassa, 5.8, 3 Pitches, West End, Snow Canyon, June, 2007
