2009 Closure Map Submitted By: Amy Ansari on Jun 15, 2009
On the far left side of Tombstone Ledge lies Youthful Exuberance. Start up the arete and work your way up and right over dikes and roofs past five bolts to a ledge 60 feet up.
The route is pretty grungy, but if you get off route it gets even grungier! Let the lichen be your guide!
Another 5.10c on Tombstone Ledge. Not terrific but perhaps worth doing if you're there.
Note that this isn't on the route list in the most recent Carville guide, the name was drawn in on the topo, with an arrow pointing to the start.
Location
Far left side of Tombstone Ledge.
Protection
5 bolts. Gear for anchor. Rap off the slung block or continue to the top (all gear and very grungy)
