A right-facing crack system over surprisingly solid rock. Not much to look at, this climb offers decent gear and nice rests with its crux being a high, final jaunt up the face to the anchors. Follow the obvious crack system left 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 Bell's 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.
This line is just left of Coral Bells arete. It starts below the right-facing undercling crack and continues up the weakness.
A single rack of nuts and cams up to 4 inches. Draws and slings are handy.

I chose to finish on the upper anchor instead of going to the top over dubious rock. Aug 16, 2021

Now, maybe my rack was light (which if anybody who has climbed with me can laugh now), but the upper half was a bit runout. Also, once Moral Bell's starts, the bolts (and anchors from Coral Bell's) are within arm's reach, so don't clip them to experience the enjoyment. I did use 2 3-foot runners up top. Sep 5, 2025
