Alimony Wall, 5.10+, 3 Pitches
With Scott Allen from St. George. I led the 1st and 2nd pitches. The local guide calls this 5.9. MP.com calls it 5.10+. The natural line is 5.10+ and offers an excellent, albeit short, 2nd pitch at the grade. The first pitch is an outstanding 5.9 wide corner pitch. The 3rd pitch is an average chimney pitch. A great rest day or half day at the Black. Worth the effort to get on for sure. Approach is insignificant compared to any other in the canyon north or south rim. The single from #4 through #6 is essential for leading that crux 2nd pitch.
