help Crown Royale FAQ
What style of climbing does Crown Royale require?
Crown Royale is a traditional route built around sustained crack-climbing technique rather than a line of closely spaced sport bolts. A leader needs to place removable protection while managing difficult movement over several pitches.
How long is the Crown Royale climbing route?
The route is reported at about 514 feet, making it a multipitch objective rather than a short single-pitch crack. Climbers must account for belay transitions, route finding, and the descent as well as the technical climbing.
What gear is needed for Crown Royale?
Because it is a trad route, climbers need an appropriate rack of cams and other removable protection selected for the route's crack sizes. Two ropes or a descent system may also be necessary, but the current local topo should determine the exact rack and rappel setup.
Who should attempt Crown Royale in the Wasatch?
It is intended for experienced trad leaders who are comfortable climbing hard cracks and building or evaluating multipitch anchors. Anyone unfamiliar with the route should consult a current Wasatch guidebook or local climbing source because protection and descent information can be consequential.
