Description 

Centipede corner is the beautiful, right-leaning crack and corner system on the west face of the Lunchbox. It is among the best routes in LDE. It is protected entirely by gear (except, of course, for the rap anchors.)

This climb has multiple cruxes, the first of which is protected by small gear and is near the start of the climb. The gear is solid but spaced out just enough to keep your attention.

A 60m rope is just long enough to rap the route with rope stretch. Be careful and make sure your rope is the whole way down. For those who come up a bit short, stop at the anchors for Hold the Jam and do a second rappel to the ground.

Protection 

Standard rack except triples of #2 and #3 Camalot & doubles of #1 and #4 Camalot.
