Description

Hope you can get on that route. It's a gem!
Starts at lorazepams first bolt and traverses right past a bolt then up 9 bolts. Follows the right side of the arête. There is a crack at the top it protect runout. Yellow or green alien can be used.
The beginning seems over bolted. But a bolt was added to protect the traverse and make it pg 13 instead of R. The original plan was to start at the choss overhang. But after cleaning off tons of rock to no end an alternate plan as implemented.

Location

SE arête. Starts at right of the line traverse alcove, lorazepam block.
Rap off chains NE side.

Protection

11 bolts. Draws. Horizontal crack at the top. To protect runout. Yellow or green alien can be used.

I really enjoyed this route. Would be a 4 start IMHO but loses a star with all the loose rock. Still worth climbing! Feb 17, 2020

This is heady at the top. The crux is slightly overhung on deteriorating holds, but fortunately, your belayer won't be directly underneath you at this point. You'll have to use some cognition went choosing handholds and footholds throughout the route. That being said this route is definitely worth doing and a lot of fun. A 0.3 camalot or similar sized nut should be placed at the top as the last and only piece of gear needed. I brought a 0.4 and it wasn't my best placement. Apr 16, 2020
