Description 

Just right of Gneiss Route is a long (120ft) is a long pumpy line that ends at the same "ledge" where the first pitch of GR ends. This is an excellent, long single pitch route that climbs on largely good rock. Much of what you use for hands felt very rounded and as a result the route picked up more pump factor than its vertical nature would suggest. The route saves a pumpy crux roof until the very end, however, the roof is juggy. There is a little jog right, then left, to gain the anchors. This is a nice long addition, but like everything on the Mission Wall gets very little sun.


Protection 

Double ropes and 15 draws.

a 60m gets you to the ramp about 6 feet off the ground.

The upper roof on the first pitch is a little hair raising, but the sling hanging down helps immeasurably. There is a bolt at your waste for the other cruxes. Watch rope drag.
