Description
P1 "Short Chains": Same start as Room to Believe then moves left along a massive chalky rail after the first bolt. Finish the first short pitch by pulling the big bulge. Avoid the glued on hold for full value. 5 bolts, 5.12
P2 "Full Chains": From the chains continue straight on close bolts and fun moves with a couple of short, bouldery cruxes. Fun endurance climbing.
10 bolts, 5.12-
P3 "Break the Quarantine": Move slightly right just before the second anchor and move into the steep headwall. Clear the bulge and continue through pockets and underclings to the top of the formation. An excellent power-endurance pitch. 6 bolts, 5.12
Linking all three pitches into a single 40m pitch is highly recommended and is a cliff classic. A 70m rope will just lower you back to the ground, knot your ends!
