Description:
I only did the first 4 pitches before it started to rain. Besides, the 5th pitch dihedral would take a set of double cams I didn't have. After getting beta from Arno, I set out to rope solo this behemoth. 1st pitch 8 bolts/#2 camalot, green red alien, #4 camalot (essential). 2nd pitch is all bolted. Thin hard 5.11. 3rd pitch bolted, last portion, bold and very thin 11+. A yellow alien is nice. 4th pitch traverse, single set of cams and 4 bolts. These 4 pitches were fabulous, with long clean fall potential. I'll return with a partner to do the rest.Descent Options:
walk off, or rappel route. I chose the toughest place to rappel from-top of pitch 4. Tramming skills necessary
