Description
BELOW ~5'8 NOTICE: The second bolt is hard to safely reach for climbers below 5'8 you may have to move onto the main pillar before you clip risking a bad fall. Recommend bringing a stick clip up the pedestal and sticking the first bolt on the main column. At and above 5'8 it's an easy reach from the pedestal.
OK, people say the ratings at Vantage tend to be soft. This is rated 10d in the book and I hesitate to upgrade, but it is much harder than quite a few 11a's I have done at Vantage- maybe those should be downgraded.
Approach on the right side of broken column, chimney up to first bolt.
Crux between 4th and 6th bolt. I have tried both sides of column, a bit thinner on the left, more awkward on the right- with more gear options if you want from the crack. Being in the center on tiny crimps feels more like 11a.
