Wired Wizard

20m
FA 1984; S.Haire, J.Conklin & S.Schultz.

Description

Both ’87 Phx Rock & '96 Phx Rock II detail this face climb as a runout trad route. I would suspect that the name alludes to this, but for some reason it now has four closely spaced bolts. The first can easily be skipped and the upper two bolts could have been consolidated as a centralized single clip to maintain some of the original flavor. IDK, perhaps the retrobolter asked the first ascentionists to add them. It seems inane for such a moderate climb.

Location

Center right side of the Upper Wall between Fool-Proof Roof and ‘57 Pan Head.

Protection

One small and one medium cam; two or three quickdraws. Two bolt belay/rap.
