American Fork - Escape Buttress - Awaking

American Fork - Escape Buttress - Awaking 10a *****

This is the obvious line just left of the soft dihedral/crack. This climb require a 60 meter rope but if you do not have such a length of rope you could easy be lowered to a second set of lower chains of a route off to the left of Awaking off of a lead run.

Awaking is a fun sustained route. The exposure is great and you can get a view of the canyon from the top. The length of the route make it great for endurance training.

The crux of the route is the first few move. The start appears to move right up the face but you need to stay to the right on the slight arete edge and work your self up then move left to the obvious shelf below the first bolt. At after getting over the bulge the climbing becomes easy with jugs every where you look.
