Description:
Trad line just right of the doorway arch in the center of the Main Arch. This route was first led as a ground-up trad ascent by Dave Case in 2009. Two years later, Kyle Waldrop and Logan Hill bolted over the original start to create a rather mediocre and unsafe 5.6. Bolts and hangers were apparently removed sometime during the winter of 2011/12, but the ring anchors remain to allow for ease of exit. Almost impossible to set this up as a TR from the top of the cliff (it sits under a huge roof slab with a 20+' traverse from any rappell to reach the anchors). Lead it or just go do something else.Descent Options:
Rap from ring anchors- DO NOT TOPROPE THROUGH THE RING ANCHORS UNLESS YOU PLAN ON REPLACING THEM!
