Description:

Great 2 pitch route near Shadow Dance. Funky crux. Can be done in one pitch w/ two ropes to rap. (Can actually rap with one 60 meter rope if you're careful: have the first person down single rope rap. The second can then rap with the rope doubled and have the person on the ground pull them up to higher ground)

4 out of 5 stars Not the most Glorious..

I came up as a second on this climb and repeatedly had trouble. Peeling off the left traverse on the second pitch swung me out under the roof. Wasted a lot of time having to jug the line to get back on. That time spent hanging in free space with the awesome exposure got to me a good bit.

Back up that rappel system, we left a stopper to help future parties and improve the integrity of the anchor.

5 out of 5 stars Top Ten!

Get on this route ASAP it kicks ass! Cool lower crux (.75 cam) up to belay. 2nd half eats nuts and other gear as well. Ridiculous jugs for the finish. Peregrine fly-by at the top!
