The Pit: Flagstaff, AZ



Flagstaff, AZ
The Pit (Le Petit Verdon)



Swiss Tower Wall
Lower Route: True Value, 5.11a
Upper Route: Shark Bait, 5.11d

This limestone canyon is full of pockety & pumpy routes with a bunch of really fun roof problems. I intended on climbing True Value on Swiss Tower but couldn't see the bolt over the mini roof marked by a large flake to work through. So I traversed left and took the alternate 5.11d finish that starts at mid point. It begins with a sweet roof section followed by an interesting face climb. Very unique side pulleys and pockety ridges after the roof. Very fun climb! Glad I took the alternate route!
