I sent and email to Ben asking if he was going to flesh this out. I haven't heard anything back so if anyone would like to do so, let me know.

Daily Planet is one of the 'easy' hardman routes...and it now goes to the top of the Sheriff's Badge via a half cleaned new route called the 'Fortress of Solitute'. Most people do the first pitch, and rap, but the next 2 pitches are great at 5.10b burly, and a wild 11a undercling pitch not to be missed. Fortress of solitude breaks off left of this pitch. Pitch 4 is a seldom done 12b face pitch.

Wires and cams to 2.5" for the first pitch and some 3-4" gear for the 2nd pitch. You can rap the first pitch with one 60m rope BARELY.

Remember you have to do 2 pitches to get to the start of the planet!

PS-hey admin, if you want me to rewrite this page, let me know!

Evan, I've transfered the route to you. Have at it! I hope you don't mind Ben, but a full description is needed here. I kept the route as it was to preserve the picture until someone like Evan came along.
