The right most route of four new lines left of Satyr is Goat Goes Up, Must Come Down. It dodges two huge, ugly flakes by moving left up a clean, solid, face and finishes in a shady corner. The start is fingery but not overly difficult. A committing clip arises below the final bulge, but his can be made off of a terrific hold left of the bolt; just look around. Like everything else in the Alpine setting, climb carefully on this route.

Eleven draws and a 60 meter rope.

Aha! We did this route today after hiking uphill to check out Ra. I thought it was about a 10d as well. Such a variety of cool moves on this one. This rock is very similar to Clear Creek. Some of it is still granite, but other rock has clearly been metamorphosed. Good stuff.
