Access Issue: Shortoff Mountain South - Falcon Closure Lifted for 2021 Details

Description

Follow the diagonal up and left passing a pin(crux). Move slightly left, then climb straight up passing 3 bolts on great holds with big moves. Belay on a nice ledge with a tree. An absolutely brilliant pitch of climbing!

Location

This route is the 3rd pitch variation on Construction Job. At the top of the 2nd pitch belay, move up and left following a diagonal to its end. Blast straight up passing 3 bolts to easier ground and finally the summit.
