BETA PHOTO: Looking down the 130' of the first pitch (5.8ish) ...


Description 

This is route "D" in the photo.

This is the prominent crack system running straight up the right side of the Necromancer wall. Can't miss it. Most of this is sort of 5.5 jugs, but there's a fifteen foot section of 5.8 finger crack about 90 feet up that takes you to the anchor. Rap with two ropes. Note: I'd guess this would be a pretty good lead for someone looking to break into the 5.8 range.


Protection 

Standard rack. Small to #3 Camalot or so. Bring a few doubles in the bigger cams if you want to sew it up.

This route is fun!

I thought this wall was in the shade all day, but it actually is in the sun between 1 and 4 PM or so, at least in April.

The first 2/3 of the route is rather uninteresting. The crack on the top is nice though, 5.8- move, but short. Rap bolts on the top.

Fun First Pitch.
Top rope the line to the right. Same start. Easy for 50ft.
Great moves between features on that patina slab to finish.
Probably 5.9. (Maybe still) waiting for a lead, as I told VegasTradGuy at the crag 18Mar07. Go get it.
