Flatiron Loop - “This should feel secure”

Little Wild Horse Canyon (Day4 in Utah pt.2)

Road to Mecca was a long approach with a big chimney stem up a crack for 15 feet or so. Misha was struggling but we made it up unscathed. A fixed rope up a cave chimney  was the second approach “crux”. One last scramble up to the base of the climb was proper class 4 slab 😎 hour 20 to the base or so. 

We started the pitch 60-70 feet below, at the base of the last “pool” of water and had to do some funky rope simul-belaying stuff once I was ready to lower from the P1 anchor. Misha crushed it on TR and then we lowered to the top of the “pool” slide thing. I then lowered him down to our original belay to get the gear left at the base, solo downclimbed some 5.4 to meet him back at the “pool”. 

Overall I think I did a variation of the 5.5 route, which made it a 5.5 X route for the lead. Super brittle gear placements in white sandstone rock. I will start out at the top of the pool and traverse over to some more solid rock tomorrow. 

Awesome Recon mission though. Misha learned how to chimney stem on some proper steep chimney scrambles on the approach! Looking forward to linking all the pitches tomorrow.
