coming down after a burn


Description 

Super classic! If you can stand the road noise and the guys breaking into your car, this is the route you want to be doing while you are here.

Climbs out the Mentor cave (just right of the Blasphemy wall) on great pockets, edges, sidepulls... the whole kitchen sink. Very Steep!

Somewhere toward the middle you even get a leg thread to cop a rest.

Once you pull out of the cave onto the headwall, you lose sight of your belayer - and the road noise ensures you can't communicate verbally. Just a heads up.

In spite of the irritations of the VRG, this route still gets 4 stars.


Location 

Mentor cave, right of the Blasphemy wall

Obvious route right in the middle.
