There is a new well bolted route just made by Dan McDevitt early this year. It start at the top of Supplication as it continuation.
I met Dan when he was working on it - but never tried. He said it 11c if you do not use adjacent crack and about 11a if you use it.
The name of the route is Inner Sanctum [I think I got the name right?] Feb 18, 2010

Deserves more stars than Reid gives it, for sure. Lots of 1" liebacking with fingerlocks interspersed. Clean, quality, recommended. May 23, 2010

Very nice route. Full value at 10c. One can lower with a 70m, but we got our rope stuck in the tree on the pull. It might be worth doing a second rap off the tree to avoid annoyance. Nov 7, 2016
