Sole on Ice

A sustained pristine slab up a beautiful white streak of rock on Out of Towner's South face. Starts on a boulder left of Out of Towners (10+) and immediately yields engaging movement through a sea of tiny edges & technical smears. The route has a gradual build through consistent 5.11 slab climbing with more pressing than pulling, interrupted only by a couple occasional sigh-of-relief pockets, until the stout crux after clipping the final bolt. You'll use your creativity & flexibility throughout the climb but save some faith for the ending, pulling down hard won't help you as much as your brain, thighs, and toes will here. Proper friction slab.A classic slab testpiece well worth your time.Perhaps one of the hardest slabs in Cochise to date, & may have sat unrepeated for 20 years.

Left of the route Out-of-Towners, first route up the rightward ramp
