Horizon Line

Description

This may be the proudest line in the park:

you can see this line from a mile away (from the park road), or from over 7 miles off (from the hikes around Mount Rogers and surrounding areas). It proudly overlooks a large chunk of the park and miles and miles of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Tall, windswept, exposed and classic as hell.

Horizon Line stand starts at the bottom of the middle face on a side pull and small crimp. Latch the two shallow, angle-cut finger "pockets", with a high foot. Move to a precarious side-pull at a diagonal, and then a shallow-nothing side-pull. Bump to the good jug above and finish the nice, lofty and exposed top out. One of the best lines Grayson has to offer.

(Bring plenty of pads, or at least a couple big ones - the landing is rocky).

Lots and lots of pads and spotters.
