Description Starts from Cloud 9 Ledge. A bit of an adventure for Ozone! (See info in "location" section on how to access the start). From the belay anchor, traverse right around the corner to a ledge. The crux is just above the ledge at the start of the climb. Head up the face, following the bolt line. Protect runouts with gear. At the top of the wall, move left about 20 feet to the "A Love Supreme" anchor. Two rappels.
Location Starts from the Cloud 9 Ledge (to the right of "Heaven's Ledge"). To access it, start climbing "Stairway to Heaven." After the 2nd bolt, traverse up and right to another bolt. After that, gear protects to the ledge and belay anchor. (Same as pitch 1 of "A Love Supreme.")
2 rappels down from the top anchors.
Protection Gear to 1" and bolts (4 or 5? - at least one more than the 3 shown in the Ozone guidebook). Anchors at top.

| This route has five bolts, plus a bolt to protect the traverse to the anchors. It looks like this bolt used to be part of an anchor but the other one got chopped. Once you step around the corner, there is a perfect nut slot to protect the move up to the first bolt.
The route is rather tricky to find... we first tried the routes directly above and to the left of Cloud 9 ledge. Both are majorly runout with sparse/nonexistent gear placements (maybe due to all the vegetation?). I have no intention of going back to do those routes. This one is quite fun, however, with a little exposure around the corner, and a SWEET view from the top. |
