Two More Moderates on Bighorn Wall

Two short but sweet routes have been added to Bighorn Wall to the right (east) of Uncanny Resemblance (route #27 in the Ya Ha Crag Mini Guide). We’re calling both 5.8 at the moment, but the route on the left is a bit trickier, so if you climb them let us know what you think!


Running to Mercury 5.8 . . . 5 bolts, 11m

Route on the left pictured below. Keep the bolts on your left side, but don’t stray too far into the chossy corner. Utilize the undercling to reach the juicy pockets above.

Meteor Shower 5.8 . . . 5 bolts, 12m

Route on the right pictured below. Climb the overlap, then up the slab into the shallow corner. A few balancey moves bring you to the large ledge with the anchor.
