Description

New anchors were added by Geoff Sluyter, closer together and with updated hardware. This uses the same start as Space Oddity then goes right, 10 bolts. The route has shed many holds since the original ascent. It is solid technical slab .12 to the overlap, .12+ through the overlap, and sustained .13 through the upper panel. It is Vedauwoo 13c. Consistent with other Vedauwoo slabs, add a letter if in the Front Range or Tensleep. Earlier descriptions of route say the crux is at 5th bolt overlap, which is incorrect. This route gets solidly harder past that point. It is long, sustained, and an amazing climb!
