Description
A right-facing crack system over surprisingly solid rock. Not much to look at, this climb offers decent gear and nice rests with a its crux being a high, final jaunt up the face to the anchors. Follow the obvious crack system right of Coral Bells arete, move up and slightly left towards a bush. Keep right of the bush, heading towards obvious landmarks and break right and up the face to the upper Moral Bells anchor.
The approximate line was surely done many moons ago, as nearly nothing was left untouched at the ole' Challenge Area. I can only speculate the original line continued to the top of the buttress over broken, vegetated, crumbly choss? The addition of the Moral Bells anchor makes for an obvious, clean escape over solid rock and a nice way to finish.
