Synopsis:

Just left of Celestial Ascention is a zig-zagging crack. Mossy, but not chossy, this powerful and ever steepening line goes and is a fairly decent route on fairly solid rock. Questionable terrain and tricky placements are the highlights of this line. Get out there and test your skills.

Start off casual, climbing up steps, cut right and work into the crack system. From here straddle a hanging block, place a piece or just gun it. Find protection and move up and slightly left through the first crux over crystals and shallow side-pulls. Find some suitable protection, then fire straight up for the horizontal crack. Once here, head left, climbing through the last crux to the exit over easier ground.

This short route will feel twice as long due to its insecurity. Technical, yet thuggish movement will limit the flow of climbing leaving one a little breathless and panting for protection.

Coordinates:

Often missed, this route sits directly left of Celestial Ascention and just right of Devil Tree.

The Rack:

This route once consisted of three pins which helped show direction. Bring some draws, stoppers, and a few small cams up to a half inch. A two inch cam protects the easy move before the anchor. Long slings or a cord are nice for extending the rope over the abrasive block at the top.
