Description 

Just left of Discipline, Cornucopia starts at the top a huge detached block and follows a line of bolts up a gorgeous lichen streaked wall. The climbing on this route is brilliantly thin, technical, and continuous. Unfortunately, most of the bolts are very hard to reach until the draws are hanging. For this reason, I recommend that you stick clip the first bolt, since a fall before you reach the first bolt could result in serious or fatal injuries. After establishing on the wall (which isn't easy), an insecure V4 slab takes you to a pod at mid-height( some people place a #3 Camalot here). Once you have recovered, launch into the crimpy V6 crux, and continue up the difficult seam using pebbles, pockets and edges until you reach the top of the wall. A 60 meter rope will easily get you down. This route is well worth the hike.


Protection 

Quickdraws, and a stick clip. There are fixed anchors.
