The right-most climb on the main wall; long reaches over small roofs, and a full-value finish.

Too Young To Be Human

Snaked From New York

A fairly clear line just to the right of Too Young To Be Human; trends right up a large crack feature.  The final section is about as close to crack climbing as you'll get in American Fork.

This route is hard. Climb up to a difficult boulder problem through the mini roof. Then, follow decent holds up the steep face to a final loooong move. Finish by trending left to reach a shared anchor with Snaked From New York.

I'm bored, and when I'm bored I find myself reminiscing about the good old days of climbing in AF. I loved the routes at the Grey Cliffs, and Too Young To Be Human is a perfect example why. Most of the holds on this route are good, but it is surprisingly pumpy. Start on the slab and climb up and right to a jug. From here, climb straight up the steep face with big moves between good pockets. It's classic. What more can I say?

This route deserves more love. The sequences are brilliant. The climbing is difficult and bouldery for the entire length, requiring precision stabs to small pockets and small edges. One of the bolts (4th or 5th) is difficult to clip and I ended up skipping it on redpoint. I think this is one of the better hard (a relative term, I know) routes in AF that is too often overlooked. Go do it!
