The Riddler (Temporal Anomaly?)

Description

I can't tell whether this is Riddler or Temporal Anomaly in Cowan's guide. The description matches Riddler best so I'll assume that's it. Another good slab route. Clipping the 3rd bolt is tough! Going straight up at this bolt is really hard - it's much easier to work up on the right.

Protection

Bolts. Bring a blue Alien for extra pro while clipping the 3rd bolt.

[Hide Comment] Malloy’s guidebook shows the route which is described and pictured here to actually be Temporal Anomaly. Malloy shows The Riddler to be about 15’ to the left and climbing through two bolts the first of which is about 25-30’ off the ground. Aug 15, 2021
