Description:

Pitch 1-This route begins by climbing the first 50 feet of Blind Faith. When the fist crack starts to steepen angle out right following obvious holds, but beware of loose rock. Belay on a good sized, but not huge ledge. Pitch 2-Climb the right facing dihedral until it is possible to traverse right (look for a fixed pin) back to Blind Faith. Continue up the chimney to the summit.

4 out of 5 stars Ascent Note

My first encounter with a route on Bastille. Excellent 7. Not too hard, and not too soft. Tim buried his leg in the chimney right at the beginning of the 2nd pitch. His inner thigh looks like a really big and really bad case of road rash. Great day.
