Pocket Vortex

Description

A fun route with a series of pumpy moves down low. This route includes a sustained series of pocket pulling down low. Likely no single move over 5.9 but if you don't move quickly it will feel more like 10a. Let me know what you think of the grade. Feels a lot like a gym climb. Simply follow the (closely spaced) bolts and pockets but don't get sucked in to the vortex!While you're there, consider top roping lines to the left and right of this route. I have cleaned them a bit but may still have a few loose flakes so be careful. Happy climbing!

Location

Starts right of Magic Cactus, just left of the Juniper Tree. Look up for the first bolt about 10' off the ground. For other nearby climbs, check out the map here - Area Map
