Description
This is on the same wall of funky features as "Indecent Exposure". This route is slightly harder but less endurance oriented. Both are on high quality rock.
Start on the "Mourning Maiden" dihedral.
P-1 Climb up MM 10' and traverse out right to a lichen covered face. Climb the face up past an old pin and a bolt that are hard to spot. Continue up semi-runout terrain to an overlap. Pull overlap to a 2 bolt anchor (5.10-). Alternate start is to scramble the 2-pitch gully and step across to the anchor, avoiding pitch 1.
P-2 Climb the obvious steep wall via a seam (rp's usefull here) and crack (possible #3 or 3.5 camelot here) through the bulge to a line of 4 bolts. The crux is moving right at the first bolt to the next stance at bolt 2 (5.12).
