Description

Start to the right of the right-leaning arch feature in a left-facing corner. Follow the corner past the arch (5.9) to a 10a crux above the arch, then step left to intersect Electric Koolaid Acid Test's pitch 2 for a short distance. After that trend right, climb 5.9 R to a right-facing flake feature and on up to a bolted belay.

Per Graham Fillo: history - this route was the original direct line up Helen's Dome. The route as it exists today was first climbed by Dave Bell and Mark Jensen in 1982. Ken Trout saw Dave Bell free rope solo the thin Borderline Boulevard crack in 1973. This thin crack can be seen intersecting the P1 anchor and extending up and to the right towards the P2 anchor of Helen Highwater. The standard route does not take this crack. Dave Dunblazer led this route without using any of the Electric Koolaid Acid Test bolts - a terrifying and bold lead that few modern climbers could repeat.
