Unknown climber on Darshan

Description This ultra-classic rig offers up a sinister menu of thin edging followed by steep resistance climbing through a bulge.
When you're shakin' out at the midway point, imagine soloing that shiz like Bachar did...
Protection 9 bolts to mussy's.

| Interesting to see this bad boy uprated...
Perhaps even better than the Bachar solo of this is the downclimb of "Xpressway"... |

| According to Marty, this was upgraded when a key hold at the crux broke. |

| A fine example of Gorge 5.12. The bottom sections vaunt distinctive face climbing with fun—even intuitive—sequences, and the top starts the pump-clock with a vengeance. One of my favorites, both for its varied climbing and stunning location. |
