The Wives - Capitol Reef
Date: 06/20/2025
Wife 1 is a bit more difficult than a 3AI, based on my trip I would say it alone was about a 3APGIII or 3APGII, as it took me and a partner a full 7 hours to complete. While I confess that we were inexperienced, this struck me as harder than initially presented. Exercise caution on the last big rap, as it is around 80-100 feet NOT 60. It's easy for it to be a free-hanging rap if you take it head-on, but it can be done with both feet on the wall if you stick to the left side when facing down the canyon.
