Seasonal Falcon closures in effect from March 15 - July 31. - Lion's Head (not pictured). - Roughneck Area. There are no closures at Staunton Rocks.

Description

Start right of the bench rocks where the low angle slab is shaded by the fin. Start up the slab using the fin to compensate for the lack of hand holds on the slab. Pull past the two handed ‘bucket of confidence’, then zig briefly right. In the corner slot at ~30 feet, the first crux yields to creative footwork. From there, the route trends left and crosses the Huginn trad line. At ~60 feet, there is another tricky bit. The top slab has grippy rock on a nicely featured face.

Location

It is 8 feet right of the bench rocks.

Protection

16 bolts and a two bolt anchor with Mussy hooks.

Lowering from the two bolt anchor brings you down over a significant overhang. On this descent, trying to avoid the overhang to stay on the bolted line risks a big pendulum that could drag the rope over the lip of the overhang. Stay with the fall line and land left of Huginn.

Do not try to TR Muninn from its top anchor without the rope running through bolts on the lower half of the route. There is a potential 30 foot pendulum with risk to the rope on the edge of the overhang.

Great route! Takes 16 quickdraws plus something for the anchor. The beta in the description about how to move past the first crux (the v-slot at ~30') is dead on. The upper slabby headwall is fun... the moves and small holds are there, use them and keep moving up! Oct 31, 2017

This was probably my favorite route of the 5 we did yesterday at The Raven. Enjoyed the movement and footwork near the top with an amazing view as your reward. May 22, 2020
