[Hide Comment] I led it this july. Shade in the afternoon.

Middle section was hard to protect where the crack flared.

I found it difficult to get to the anchors the way the Croft book described, so I topped out and traversed to the anchors for lawless riders. I didn't have a 4 for the top part so I used a micronut and protected it fine. Jul 5, 2017

[Hide Comment] I topped this out and there was no anchor. I slung a big horn/boulder at the top and belayed my partner up and then she climbed over to a set of anchors down and climbers left and then I climbed down and we rapped off. Oct 16, 2018

[Hide Comment] Look carefully from the ground at the position of the anchors you are supposed to go to on Mysterious Desperado, so you know where to exit the crack. I was just in the crack zone and breezed right past it and took the crack all the way to the top of the formation. This then necessitates a detour 15 feet left over to the anchors of Glass Bead Game. Left on easy unprotected face at the top of the formation over to the next crack, and then down-climbing to the anchors. Not unpleasant climbing but you wouldn't want to fall there. Mar 23, 2025
