Description
"Get A Life" wanders up the major break in the middle of the south face of the Highlands, and shares a first pitch with "Get Insurance". The approach trail arrives at the wall right around the base of the line.
P1: Head up the break for 70' or so to a bolted belay at a stance under an overlap. "Get Insurance" heads out right around the overlap.
P2: Work left around the overlap past blocks and ledges until you can move up into the main corner above. Follow the corner until it spills out onto the top of the crag. Look for a bolted belay anchor (shared with "Get Insurance") out on the right wall just before you're in walking territory.
Descent: One or two rappels (depending on if you have one or two ropes) deposit you back at the base. If you seek misery and love causing erosion (or somebody stole the anchors), you can hike over the top and trundle down a steep gully north of the east face.
