BETA PHOTO: Thor climbs the steep face between Excalibur Direc...


Description 

Take the obvious line up the center of the face. A series of hard power moves past two bolts. Hard climbing for such a short pitch.


Protection 

A couple of clips will get you to the anchor.

I was going to downgrade this to 11-, but after ripping off the starting foothold, the crimp on the starting handhold, the second handhold, the undercling, and part of the edge of the fingerlock, I think it might be harder now.
I was scarcely able to hold on with each broken hold, and falling off that first foothold (can't clip before it) could have injured me pretty badly. I tried to clean up what was left of it (now 4" lower down) to avoid anyone else breaking their back falling 1/2 way on/off of the starting ledge.

As a result of my experience, my opinion of the route quality reflects the rock quality.

Went back and climbed this again...grade feels the same.

On a busy weekend you can avoid the crux moves by using someone's car top to start.

Just kidding.
