P1, gently overhanging for 100 feet. Beauty of a p...
Description
One 100 foot 11a splitter steep hand crack, a second pitch of the same steepness but off fingerish followed by a hard boulder move to the arete to finish it off 11c.
Location
Just to the right of the last pitches of Angel's Crest...amazing 2 pitches.

Borderline>Angels Crest>High Plains makes for a great day out.

That sounds like really tiring day! I would like to try Borderline to Angel's Crest, and Angel's Crest to High Plains Drifter separately first.
Any additional comments on the gear required?

For Borderline> Angels Crest > High Plains
doubles from .5 to #2 camalot,a single of #3 and #4, double green and yellow aliens, one blue alien(or whatever if you don't like aliens) and some medium and small stoppers. 8 runners. lots of water. most will need an an early start
Borderline is technical and can be slow climbing. Bolts on the face pitches and a bolted chimney. The .11c crux takes small nuts and cams. Watch for drag on the last pitch.
from the end of Borderline either solo or simul the Crest to the base of High Plains. Pitching this part out too much wastes time.
Save some gas for High Plains. It's physical. Take some extra hand and fist gear for this if you don't like running it out a bit or you can walk the #3. You'll likely want to tape up for this first pitch, there's no stopper move and a competent 5.10 jammer shouldn't have too much trouble. It'd get 10c/d in the Valley. Save some small cams for the top of High Plains P2. Exposed! Awesome finish!
