Description:
Runout slab traverse on 2nd pitch, with a bit of routefinding challenge. A good one to try before doing Fantasia.

Just another climb
The climbing on this one isn't anything special except for a few moves on the 2 & 3 pitches.

Scimitar
Ok route, all the stuff between Haystack and Bear Reach seems contrived because the dikes allow traversing to easier terrain up higher. We went left instead of right and did second pitch of "The Last Sandwich" and finished on the last pitch of Fantasia without even realizing it until we consulted Supertopo. We later did first 2 pitches of Fantasia, traversed right and down to anchors at the top of the first pitch of Scimitar and did last 2 pitches of Scimitar.

great route!
Awesome route! Sustained, interesting, & thought-provoking climbing. .6 or not, the 'R' certainly got my attention! I was very glad to get to my next piece of pro'... IMO, one of the best climbs at The Leap.
