Description

Starts with big moves on crimps and sidepulls, leading to a decent rest at a shelf, where the character of the route becomes more technical with a gaston and mantle finish.

Location

Just to the left of The Blight and to the right of Hell

Protection

6 bolts + anchors (all but one are currently fixed, and that one can be skipped>)

Honestly can't tell where this line goes. There are 3 fixed draws and then 2 more bolts that are kinda out left and the climbing there seems a lot harder. I just ran it out from the fixed draw to top out the little dihedral via crimps and a gaston. Wasn't able to decipher from the MP app beta where High Blight was either. Oct 3, 2017

It goes out to the left where it is harder. Look at the submitted pics. I agree that if you are looking to climb the weakness, then the crimps up the dihedral is the logical line. Probably 12b going that way. Oct 11, 2017
