Wages of Sin

FA Dave Jones & Steve Chardon, Oct 1983

Description

Climbs the beautiful Forbidden Wall up discontinuous, thin crack systems to the top. The first pitch was originally rated A5 because it had deck potential (pre beaks). The 3rd pitch climbs the striking hand crack located just right of a small corner. There is a bivy ledge at pitch 6. This route is consistently difficult with some route finding.

This was likely the first A5 in Zion at the time. Some rurps had to be equalized on the first pitch. Chip Chase made an early solo ascent of this route.

Location

Several hundred feet left of Forbidden corner. See topo at VC

Protection

Wall rack with extra thin gear.
