RIP SWIFT FOX

RIP SWIFT FOX follows a natural line to the right of the Escape Pod which is the detached hanging block to the right of Shadow Work slab. This is just 20’ left of CURARE.Stand Start on blocky holds and gain a horizontal crack jug that would take hand cams. Work the scooped dihedral up and right in adventurous style on crack, seam, smears, and crimps in grassy pockets. Very fun and pretty 3D compared to the climbs to the east. Lead on trad or boulder. While it makes no sense this would be a 5.7+ trad line or a V1+ compared to most V1s. Do what you will with that nonsense but just respect the fall line with the two blocks just behind and right of the climb. It’s a VB a VB boulderer shouldn’t go up. RIP SWIFT FOX is named in honor of the beautiful fox that raced downhill from the woods to cross the mountain road to Monastery Lake north of Pecos, New Mexico. He was all blur and just too early or just to too late. He was the 1st Swift I had ever seen. RIP SWIFT FOX. 

Just right of Shadow Work Slab’s Arete in the dihedral and 20’ left of Curare.

2 pads and spotter. Mind the wandering fall line.
