Description 

Midway is a decent pitch which is useful for accessing the 2nd pitch of Outlander. It starts about 25 feet right of the Box, which is a right-facing, dihedral system. The first pitch follows a left-facing dihedral with thin gear but good gear. There are a handful of interesting moves before it deposits you on a low angle slab. The original 2nd pitch heads up and left to finish, but if you are interested in finishing on Outlander, bang a hard right.

Location 

Upper Book area just right of the start of the Box...

Protection 

Small stuff for the first pitch...
