BETA PHOTO: The right facing corner of Senior Citizens.


Description 

Senior Citizens in Space is the obvious right facing corner. The climbing is consistent with no real crux in my opinion. Layback up the corner split by a couple of cracks on the left side. The angle lessens as you get higher. One of the best moderates at Index.

Belay at the 2 bolt anchor at top.


Location 

Start 20' to the right of Battered Sandwich.

Descent:

Rappel from the 2 bolt anchor.


Protection 

Heavy on finger sized cams. Gear to 1".

We cleaned the route on 3/22/08. It was still a little wet on 4/11/08.

This is a really good route! It's the best 5.8 I've climbed and the best 5.8 at Index. For me the crux was where it steepens near the top, because there was a lot of debris in the crack and that made it a little hard to get jams.
