Description
This is a new Alvino Pon route. "Center Slab" is a temporary name until the real name is known.
The route goes up the slab between Full Nelson Reilly and Dire Spire.
Begin at the big tree next to the rock. The first bolt is about 15' up and a little left of the tree.
Climb up behind the tree, clip the first bolt, and work up left to a ledge with a ring bolt. Climb up the slab and a shallow crack. Continue up the slab to the right edge of the roof, pass the roof on the right, and angle up left to the anchors.
The leader can belay the second from a good ledge at the two-bolt anchor. Rappel 95' back to the start.
Two stars for clean rock, continuity, and good moves.
