Description
This route ascends Echo Slab near the most prominent black feature on the wall. The climb was called "Black Tide" in older guidebooks; a more elegant name for the climb.
Climb carefully to the first bolt and then pass three more as you edge and smear your way along the prominent black dike to the top.
Belay from bolts on top and then scramble off down slabs to the climber's left. Alternately, you can rappel with a 70 or 80 meter rope (50 or 60m ropes are too short).
