Description

This is a variation to Bridge of Air. Clip the first three bolts until the obvious ledge. Trend right on the ledge heading up towards the overhang. Thoughtful moves through the roof lead to some balance slab climbing at the top that can spit you off!

Great rock!

Location

Use the same start as Bridge of Air.

Protection

9-10 (14-15?) QDs. A 60m works if you do not toprope it.

[Hide Comment] It's more like 14-15 draws (some long ones to reduce the rope drag), and a 70m rope barely gets you back to the boulder if your belayer belays from the ground. I don't know how the protection listed here would be adequate... if you start halfway up? Apr 8, 2023
