Description

Alternate finish variation to the Total Eclipse of the Shart if you get up there and the traverse puckers you up. Also a great way to rig a TR on Happily Ever Shafter as they share an anchor. The finish requires long slings and some creativity.

Protection

Bring the same rack as the Total Eclipse of the Shart, minus the #5. Add in a Blue Big Bro with a sling if you don't want to be run out on the stemming finish.

Skipping the traverse and continuing up to the Happily Ever Shafter anchors is a good way to bail on the wild chimney/offwidth traverse.
