Description

Wow. It's kind of a shame that Beyer didn't bolt this one to be more approachable. Likely one of the better face climbs I've done at Wall Street.

The route features amazing varnish, and SUSTAINED climbing. A ground-up lead of this thing would likely be one of the more amazing accomplishments at the crag, and it amazes me that Beyer would have led it the way it is. I would LOVE to hear of someone leading this thing.

Mid 5.12 climbing leads one through multiple hard moves over 35 ft. to the first bolt. After that, stacks of .10d to .12a moves lead upwards. Amazing climbing with a long section of double-gastoning these crazy runnel features.

Location

To the left of Jug Roof. The face is beautiful, and you will see the first bolt way up there.

[Hide Comment] I would bet you he established it ground up just the way it is. People seem to forget exactly how good of a climber Jim is. Feb 5, 2021

[Hide Comment] Errr...I might take that bet, given he has made claims of free lines with "2 hangs and yo-yo"...

[Hide Comment] Jim and John were the ones who reported those hangs and yo yos. I’m not sure why you would think either of thems integrity should be of concern. Both of those guys climb ground up. Mar 14, 2022
