Leap Ericson


Description 

This route climb the long, featured slab/face just left of Leap Year Flake (5.7).

Start up a left-slanting ramp to reach a high first bolt, above which some difficult moves lead onto a somewhat low-angled slab. Delicate moves on small flakes give way to a steepening wall with small grey knobs and protrusions that provide entertaining climbing. Gear belay and then walk right to a rap station located 30' down and right from the top of Leap Year Flake. Note - a 60 meter rope is needed to TR this route.

Varied and fun moves on good rock make this a route to do if in the area.


Protection 

7 bolts (all 3/8"), pro to 2.5" for anchors

This could be considered a sport route, save for the gear needed for an anchor.
