Beehive Arete

5.10+, Sport, 40 ft (12 m),  Avg: 2.7 from 18 votes
FA: unknown
Utah > Southwest Utah > Saint George > Lambs Knoll > Shady Corridor > Sub-Area 1

Description

This ascends the obvious arete on the edge of the first block on your left as you enter the shady corridor.  There are two cruxes, the first is getting off the ground and through the initial big sandy hueco, and the second is working your way through the slopers just before the last bolt.  This route is pretty fun, though the sandiness of some of the holds detracts from the overall quality.  The route is bolted with what appear to be wave bolts, but the eyes of the bolts are recessed into the rock making having a quickdraw come unclipped from the bolt as you climb past it a real concern, so be careful.

Location

This is the first route on your left as you enter the shady corridor.  There is a small detached block on the east side of the beginning of the corridor, this route ascends the obvious arete on that block.

Protection

6 bolts to 2 chain anchor.
