Moving past the last bolt on Lunar Eclipse (5.11a)...


Description 

Right of Lost Orbit (5.10b/c) is this great route which was one of the first on the wall.

Stem up and left off a ramp (5.10a) and onto a vertical face with patina plates which is climbed for several bolts to a small roof/overlap at the 4th bolt. Pull over the bulge, clip the next bolt and make some balancy moves (5.10) getting stood up to clip the sixth bolt. The moves past the last bolt require a high step/reach combo on less than ideal holds and favor those with a good reach.


Protection 

6 bolts, chain anchors

I'm not sure what was going on in May but there were 6 bolts on that route as of 6/29/08. I climbed it with the one of FA party and the route is perfectly safe.

Don't fear people, string that thing up!

edit: Hey Luke, are you sure you're not thinking of Lost Orbit to the left? That route had been realigned and currently sports two empty sleeves.
