Brian on the super-overhung .11c variation of Real...


Description 

The 11a variation of Realm of the Overhang starts in the center of the overhung face and moves straight left to the second bolt. This is the crux. From there, climbing eases for 20 feet before you follow an overhung crack up and right to the anchors. The top part is very pumpy.

There is also an 11c variation that ascends the VERY overhung left side of the wall and meets the main route after the third bolt. I found clipping the third bolt to be quite difficult as did Aron. Interesting falls can result.
