Description

A fun and striking corner, The Passage climbs the certain dihedral to the wall's upper rim. Despite a loose and dirty upper pitch, good moves through a good crack still make this a decent choice.
This is also the starting pitch for Free Passage.

P1: Solid rock and good climbing pass a single crux and a piece of old tied off webbing. Finish at a ledge.
Stop here and belay on a ledge or lower off a set of anchors.

P2: Climb broken and loose, lichen covered rock to the top and set a belay.

Location

The Passage

is the prominent corner/dihedral in the middle of the Moore Wall.

Protection

A single set of cams and stoppers.

[Hide Comment] shweet, where'd you hear that?

while i'd just as much assume RG, it was my understanding that the webbing was there before 1998. Sep 22, 2010

[Hide Comment] I climbed this with Rip earlier in the summer. He said that where the tat was found was most likely someones high point, there was no other evidence up higher. I guess its not a for sure answer, but seem like he deserves some credit (First recorded ascent?). Like most guide books there are some mistakes. Sep 22, 2010
