Description Suggest change

Update, August 2020. The Online Sector of Static Point has been rebolted, and at the FA team request, Online has been retro-bolted to invite more climbs. Don't worry, there is still plenty of runout - while the 33m 5th pitch is protected by 7 bolts, earlier pitches are up to 48m and only offer a handful of protection points, a mix of bolts and a few gear placements.

Full information including topos can be found here: LINK.

P1 (5.6, ~50m). Get yourself to the clean base and look up, spot a bolt a bit of a ways up and remember that that’s a bonus bolt! Second bolt at 40' was the first for a long time. Continue up the runouts with occasional small gear placements with an arching crack.
P2 (5.7, ~30m). Up and right, a couple bolts, and a big flake.
P3 (5.8, ~40m). Exciting slab work on some friction slab past three or so bolts.
P4 (5.8, ~40m). Up and over past overlaps and bolts on the slab above.
P5 (5.10b, ~35m). Crux pitch! Fully bolted now (7x). Trust your rubber and figure out your sequence!
P6 (low 5th, ~20m). Diagonal up and hard left to anchors without any good gear (optional, but may as well)

New rappels with a single 60m:
1) Rappel straight down from end of P6 or diagonally climbers left of end of P5 to anchor at the top of Black Fly / American Pie (single pitch routes from the Tombstone Ledge).
2) Rap from here a little climbers right to end of P4.
3) Rap hard climbers left to an anchor on the Tombstone Ledge
4) Rap through a little bit of bush striaght down to more anchors
5-8) Straight down, clean.

Location Suggest change

Online is the first route found at the base of Static Point - the first bolt 30' off the ground should get your attention and also set the tone for the rest of the climb.

A new rappel route, with anchors, allows for the use of a single 60m rope. Description in the link above.

Protection Suggest change

There are 2-7 bolts per pitch with bolted anchors.

A single set of cams #0.3-#2 or 3 and a single set of stoppers #4-10 should cover most gear opportunities on any route in this Sector.

A full topo is available at the link in the Description.
