Description
The Plate is likely the worst route on the Beaver Wall. Pull off the ground on good edges past the first bolt, reach up high and clip the second, then get ready for pain. Pull down on disgustingly sharp, tiny crimps in the black rock heading left towards the plate feature. Pull some cruxy moves establishing on the plate and moving the feet up then make a big move left to another serrated edge. Move up to a bigger hold to clip the 4th bolt and move left then back right to the chains. Be careful of the fall up here, the holds are slopey and there is potential to pendulum into the corner.
This isn't the worst climb I've ever been on, but with so many high quality climbs on the wall, this one deserves to languish in obscurity.
Location
The Plate is the rightmost bolted route on the Beaver Wall, 50 feet right of Dead By 30 and 10 feet left of a shallow corner listed as a toprope in STL2.
Protection
4 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor.
