Description
Just as awesome as 'Thrain'. Follow right trending bolt line through the crux, place a hand? size cam, then keep trucking to the top.
Originally put in ground up with 5/16" bolts and runout, and called Moonlighting Orcs. Named such due to multiple after-work sessions putting it up and ending up drilling bolts in the moonlight. Route was subsequently chopped, but reestablished on lead with better bolts and added the upper headwall finish (not to be missed!) and anchor.
Location
Start next to the pine tree on the right. Two rope rap. Or one 80m. Or one 70m will get you down on the opposite N side from a new set of anchors.
Protection
Bolts
Hand size gear
Bolted anchor with webbing
