Description 

Left slanting crack left of Celestial Ascension. There is a devilish tree in front of the route. Deceptively difficult.


Protection 

Descent is off the chains for Celestial Ascension or by walking down a gully to the east.Top is natural anchors.

Pumping jam city. Fun, physical climbing up an awkwardly sinful, steep crack. Decent gear helps combat visions of falling and Devil Tree probe-age. Not the cleanest line, but definitely fun. 10+ years ago (I swear) there were mank quarter inchers at the top, but a crack provides a plentitude of anchor choices. Scramble off east on the standard Cathedral TR Highway.

Be careful on this route. The gear is all there, but at least two deck-out falls (one career-ending) have occurred on this route. The tree is always lurking and ready to give you a prostate exam.

Yeah, I talked to a guy the other day up there who was just getting healed up after a bad fall on that route. I asked him if he hit the tree, and he told me he hit a lot of things.
Good route though, harder than it looks.
