A view of the slab where Divas And Witches can be ...


Description 

The crux may very well be on the first pitch which is a slab interrupted by a steep blankish face section, which I recall was passed with a touch of AO.
This has since been freed via a variation by Tyler Phillips and Luke Douglas.
I enter this climb almost a year after the fact as I began to forget the details and we doubted this enjoyable route would otherwise get repeated.


Location 

East Facing Wall (left side and low down as one hikes up the gully). A low angle sub gully/branch on the left will lead to a south facing slab and an ovious bolt at the beginning of the route. This is probably one of the first routes on the left (longer ones) one will encounter.


Protection 

5 pitches drilled on lead with numerous bolts per pitch. Two-bolt belays after each pitch. A supplemental small additional trad rack may be useful, but the route is quite well protected with bolts. Rappel the route.

Just a few comments:
This route is 4 pitches, 400 feet. I can take no credit for the free variation. I only climbed it after the fact. It is a fun route either way you go at the top. The first pitch crux is pretty hard, and might benefit from the moving of a bolt or two. Not sure how others climbed it but I ended up clipping at least one bolt at my feet. Thanks to all involved.

The 2nd pitch has been freed at 10+. There is a variant on the last pitch that starts up the left arete at 10+ as well.

I liked this climb and had fun on it. I thought the first two pitches were the most enjoyable.
