Description 

The Dissolution fires up the same face as The Resolution and ten feet to the left. The first clip is very hard off the ground and is routinely done by steming the face on the left. The first sequence of moves hits you with a thin fingery series past the first bolt and is sound 5.11 just getting to the second clip where another 5.11 series arises. A bit further another crux, and just as difficult as the first, arises past clip four. This series goes without a stem (off route) at close to 5.11d but can be avoided to some extent by stepping left and stemming onto the adjacent wall. Overall The Dissolution has a bit more continuous climbing than on The Resolution, the stone is good, and the moves can really tax the finger-crimp strength. To keep the dissolution from catching up, make those feet work.

Protection 

Bring seven draws and something for the double bolt anchor at the top that is shared with The Resolution.
