Tale of the Scorpion

The Streaked Wall

is the most intimidating wall in the park. It is severely overhanging and requires full commitment. Once you leave the ground retreat is not an option.

The route begins off Rubicon ledge and arches at what seems like 45 degrees across a beautifully blank wall. There is nothing but a solitary crack and big air.

The first and third pitches are the technical cruxes but each pitch involves a good bit of work. All but the last 3 pitches are A3.

Many of the belay and lead bolts have been replaced.

There are many "holes" on the route. Bring plenty of #2 sawed-off angles to drop into them.

Blades, beaks, angles, cams to #4, hooks, bolt kit, and more. Basically, come armed for bear.
