A Traditional Inquisition

Description

Start at the base of the arete and climb The Broadcast to the roof. At the roof, make a move or two towards the teardrop-shaped flake on your right. At the hollow teardrop flake, follow the seams that trend up and right to some easier rock where you can then gradually climb towards the anchor.

Location

It starts at the base of the Pyuk Butress. You can scramble up past the pillar to get to a small traverse ledge that will take you to the bottom of the route.

Protection

A standard rack will do, be ready to extend a lot of the gear as it's fairly spread out as you're going over the roof.
