Move up a short ramp to a curving under-cut crack. This route is well protected and nice climbing . P1)Using the under-cut crack reach a high hold then up to 3 Pro Bolts ,passed these and continue up cracks to the top and double anchors. Nice climbing. Rap the route
Location
Starts to the right of Naked Truth in the center of the slab at the top of the Talus below an under- cut crack.
Protection
One set of stoppers cams from blue tcu to 3" two 60m ropes for rap. Some slings.
Thanks for putting some hard pullers on the climb! This would be I'm sure the second ascent so maybe they have cleaned off most of the loose holds,I thought our party had done that,maybe at times they were a tad off route ? .Anyway glad you liked the climb . You would enjoy Faith Hope and Clarity , On a Wing and a Prayer,Just Dreams and Feeding the Rat . These all have good rock.
I can see in your pic that one difference (in the route that I took) was I when under and then up the the big hollow flake. I put a cam behind the flake. Maybe not such a good idea, but at the time I felt ok with it. It wasn't until I was on-top the flake when I looked down (through the inside of the flake) and realized I could see my #2 cam, head, steam, beaner, and all. But thats climbing right? sometimes you do know what your going to get.
Hi ..Yes the joys of sandstone,the rock is an adventure in itself.... If you are talking about the flake at the very start of Dark Side I did have a cam in that flake, just hard to see in photo . Certainly better than nothing . We are just back from that area . We put up two more 5.10's one just to the left of Dark Side and one just to the right . Both are very well protected with cams and bolts
