2nd pitch pretty runout, short third pitch unless you string it together.
I thought Lurch was classic.

The two-bolt anchor for this route has chains and can be rapped with a 60 m rope (if the second pitch looks uninspiring...which it kinda does).
After topping out the roof, traverse slightly right, clip a (somewhat older) bolt down low, and finish 20' of face climbing to the anchors by going either just right or just left of the bolt (I went right). I found this section to be the crux mentally of the route as there is no pro to be had and a bad, bad fall awaits (i.e. free-fall onto the slab below). The knobs available are fairly good for hands and feet but not really that sling-able and seemed unlikely to stay roped during any real fall, so why bother. The runout here is essentially PG13 in distance on delicate climbing ground but R in consequences.
Anyhow, the leader should have a pretty cool head for this one!!!
Morticia looked to have far newer bolts placed in a much more well-protected manner; however, a 70 m is probably needed to rap from her anchors if you don't want to go to the top.
Lurch is a very nice route and a great mind-fuck at moments.
