Description
This route is basically a 3 pitch extension to the first pitch of Lamplighter.
P1(5.10c). Lamplighter, it is a steep looking wide crack, with many good holds to supplement. After the chimney follow a crack system slightly right past a couple bolts. Don't belay at the first anchor you see! Keep heading right another 20 feet to another two bolt anchor. I thought this was the best pitch on the route.
P2(5.11a). Follow Bolts over the bulge directly above the belay to an edgy face.
P3(5.10+). More edging past many bolts.
P4(5.11a). Follow more bolts past two roofs to a final two bolt anchor at a nice ledge. The second roof holds the crux of the route in my opinion.
A 70 meter rope will get you through all of the rappels
