Road Trip - follow cracks until face holds lead le...


Description 

The crux is th slab moves above the arete. Cool climbing up a nice crack that leads to great face climbing on the arete and upper slab.

This is a great climb that will only get better with more ascents and cleaning.


Location 

Start 25 feet from the road and climb up to the obvious mossy crack.


Protection 

Bring gear up to a gold Camalot, long runners and six quickdraws.

Rap from a two-bolt anchor.

BE CAREFUL...a 60-meter rope just makes it to the ground.

I thought this was a really fun route. The moss didn't really detract from the quality of the route. However, the climbing will improve as this thing cleans up. I had been looking at this line for over 2 years and I never got around to climbing it. Bob beat me to it. Good job cleaning the route. My only complaint is that the intended line leaves the crack before it ends. It seems that the route could have followed the crack for another 10 feet or so and then pulled onto the slab. Nonetheless, the route was great.
