Watch Josh Wharton attempt Glenwood Canyon, Colorado’s ominous Deep Throat (WI 5-6 M7)—a rarely repeated, three-pitch mixed route established
by Jeff Lowe and Will Gadd in January 1997.
“This route is a testament to Jeff’s and Will’s vision,” Wharton writes on Mountain Project.
“Especially impressive is the gumption it must have taken to quest off on P3 during the FA. As far as I know, it has only had three ascents in nearly
20 years, but it certainly deserves more.”
