Where Egos Dare, 5.10a

Where Egos Dare- 30’- 5.10/ Three bolts worth of thin edges and varnish past a block to bolted anchor. Alternate starts exist on this Goss route. Left is a corner and easier option, middle is thin and tough and right is the outside edge with a little gravity issue. This route is definitely stiffer than the 5.9 given in the book if you attack it head on. Where Egos Dare, 5.10a, Green Valley Gap, St. George, Utah, December, 2006

Looks like a fun climb,

and some good finger pockets. Do you know where the name of the route came from?

Re: Looks like a fun climb,

The Perkins brothers and Casey Anderson put most of these sport routes up as recently as the mid 90's. Goss put a few in as well. I have no idea except that straight on it is no 5.9 on lead in my opinion. Using the corner is easy but I know that was not their intent. It checks your ego to be sure if you think you are leading a 5.9.
