Description Suggest change

Mann Act is a cool adventure climb in a part of Palisade Head with hardly anybody around.  The route, as was originally climbed, is an R-rated lead that starts in a 5.9 splitter crack (good pro), traverses right at the roof to the arete, and ascends a meandering face above with barely any protection. Higher up a tricky 5.11 traverse left (originally protected by a single c3  - currently protected by a bolt) was followed by a finish to the top. 

During recent cleaning (summer 2025), a sizable chunk of rock above the initial roof fell off revealing a finger crack to the left of the original line. As a consequence, the route now has two variants depicted in this picture: the original line going right after the roof, and the new variation going left using the handcrack (protected by three additional bolts). The left variant is significantly safer than the original line. Both go at 5.11.
