about 1/2 way up Lost Orbit


Description 

Located between Lost Highway (5.11b) and Lunar Eclipse (5.11a), this route climbs the left side of an attractive plated face.

A bouldery start on incut plates (5.10c) leads over a bulge and onto a vertical face with abundant edges. Higher, fun climbing leads up the face to a high-step move on plates and a balancy lieback move up and right to the anchors.

Super fun climbing with great protection make this a highly recommended route of the area.


Protection 

6 bolts, chain anchors

This climb is soooo much fun! The start yields a puzzle that will be solved according to your height, reach and particular technical strengths. Then lots of vertical movement above the overhanging area with great moves up high!
