Quickie sits confidently on the far right edge of Sex Wall, within the rugged expanse of the Southern Sierra near Courtright Reservoir, California. This one-pitch sport climb may only stretch 60 feet, but it packs an inviting blend of alpine crispness and straightforward movement that makes it a prime warmup or quick session for climbers looking to test their skills on solid, well-bolted rock. Starting from a raised boulder platform, climbers get an immediate feel for the quality of the granite—clean, textured, and receptive underfoot and fingertips. The route’s 5.9- rating feels approachable but engaging enough to demand attention, with a short, punchy crux that rewards precise foot placement and steady breathing.

The climb is protected by four well-spaced bolts leading to a two-bolt anchor, offering a secure yet sporty experience that encourages flow and confidence. The rock’s texture here invites a tactile connection, where every hold feels deliberate, and the rhythm of movement becomes almost meditative against the backdrop of towering pines and the vast sweep of Courtright Reservoir’s shimmering waters below.

Accessing Quickie is straightforward, making it ideal for climbers eager to squeeze in a quality pitch with minimal hike fatigue. The thin alpine air lends a freshness to the climb, adding an extra layer of reward when you top out and gaze northward across the winding reservoir rimmed by mountain ridges.
