Astronauts

5.10 PG13, Trad, 45 ft (14 m),  Avg: 1.5 from 2 votes
FA: Matt Murphy + Jon Crefeld
New York > Powerlinez > s. Books Tier > 7. Career Guides

Description

Up to just below the roof, next traverse Left to a weakness, then pull the roof and much easier to the top.

warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

Location

Below middle of the obvious roof.

Protection

Standard rack for Trad leading.
Tricky to protect below the roof. Above the roof is run-out unprotectable but much easier than the lower part.

Not safe to try as a top-rope.
