Eyeing the crux

Add Photo  Add Comment    Printer View

Description 

Begin 60 left of Mad Men Only underneath the prominent bell feature in the middle of the bell wall. Climb through poorly protected climbing for 20 feet till you reach a reasonable stance. Make a hard move out right to a good stance and then work back into the bottom of the bell feature. Work delicate moves along the left side of the bell until you hit the roof and exit out left. Traverse right into a shallow right facing corner. Do not fall here. Gain good pro in the shallow corner and follow system for 50 feet until you top out. No anchors.

Location 

Most prominent line on the Bell Wall.

Protection 

Standard Rack. Black alien helpful in the crux. A few pins and one bolt but you're one you're own for the crux.
