Description

P1: 5.9 - More of the same, slightly less than vertical climbing on nice pockets and edges that you've come to know and love in the Virg. 11 bolts.

P2: 5.9 - Slightly less-than-vertical face climbing on mostly good rock, with a brief and unfortunate exception about 2/3 of the way up.

P3: 5.11a - Fantastic, exposed climbing, to the top of the clean face. Move up a cool dike feature on hard grey stone and then up into some orange rock reminiscent of the Outrage. Catch a stance and a glance in the juggy corner and then commit to the exposed mini-roof and clean face above.

Location

Just before you enter the cave. Left of Flamingo Wall (5.11).

Protection

12 draws. 70m rope.

I enjoyed the climbing but did not find it more difficult than the first two pitches of "The Flamingo Wall" next door. Looks like they are putting up a 2nd pitch. Mar 4, 2018

5.11a/b

The two 5.9 pitches are pretty clean, fun, and worth doing even if you are not doing pitch 3. You can link them both with a 70m and something like 23 draws. Pitch 3 is clean, well protected and pretty hard over the roof if you are old and tired. A funky mantle type thing ends the pitch, it’s not real hard, but if you blow it you’d take a pretty big lobber. Good rock on this route overall. 2.7184 stars orverall. Mar 7, 2023
