Jay Evans leading P1 Revenge of the Elderly, 2002.
ID 108328324 ·
P1 belay, ROE, 2002.
Approximately in green, a variation to the upper half of Revenge of the Elderly done in one pitch. Something like this is shown in Mike Hill's Guide. Small and sparse gear, clean rock, plus enough rope drag that the move across to the top anchor feels a little like a tension traverse. 60 meter rope works - not sure about a 50 meter rope. Photo and yellow markings courtesy of Monomaniac and Chris Wenker.
