Description:
A Question of Balance (form. Balanced Effect), 2 pitches, 5.11 & .10c, This climb was retro bolted on both pitches. Sweet well protected climbing, technical and tenuous at the crux, slightly run out after the 4th bolt crux. Staying out just right of the bolts seems to ease the grade. Pitch two is on steep rock with a variety of moves into the obvious weakness then trend slightly back left. A spell binder of a pitch. FA: Jeremy Alvis, (2000)Descent Options:
Rap station at north end of summit

High quality climbing!
An excellent and slightly harder (imo) complement to Barrett light. Thin, cruxy moves near the 4th clip, followed by cool climbing to the chains.
