Rites of Passage

This is another recommended route on Red Arch Mountain. A more adventurous alternative to Shunes. A lower corner crack is connected via face climbing to the prominent upper crack left of Shune's.

P1-3...Follow corner via fist & offwidths to a ledge (5.10+).

P4...Move left out on the face past 2 bolts to easier climbing and a ledge (5.11+).

P5...Wandering face climbing leads to a bolted belay on the face, to the right of a dirty corner system (5.11, some moss & dirt).

P6-9...Move right to single face crack which is followed via easier/classic climbing to the top (mostly hand cracks).

Begin about 100' left of Shune's Buttress in a long, striking right facing corner.

Standard Zion free rack with extra #3 & 4 camalots.
