Description
This is a good route to try on a busy weekend day when all the popular routes have waiting lines.
Start 150' right of the Madame Grunnebaum's Wulst buttress at two short left-facing corners capped at 10' by an overhang. This is 25' left of Brave Valkyrie, about a 10-minute walk from Uberfall.
P1: Starts with a little overhang 10' up (big cam). From there, head for the left-facing corner, then up a runout face and generally left to a belay ledge. 5.5, 90'.
Variation: after the left-facing corner, meander right to belay on a ledge, aiming for the second pitch of Brave Valkyrie which climbs the pretty face above at 5.6.
P2: Negotiate around right-facing flakes to the GT Ledge. 5.5, 90'.
P3: 30' and not worth it.
This climb isn't done all that often, so it has some grass on the bigger ledges and lichen here and there. Some flakes are a bit thin, so climb gently.
