Description

Climb the crack. A right/left jog gives rest below the final pull past bolts 5 & 6. It's bolted due to the hollow sounding fins in the crack.

An upper pitch may go but is probably at least 2 grades harder. Go for it.

Location

Flight Primary is the obvious crack under the overhanging prow. It is 25 feet left of Huginn and right of the Central Wall.

Protection

6 bolts and a 2 bolt anchor with Mussy hooks.

Several large blocks were removed from the top. This probably makes the last two moves harder. The route is probably 10c now. Jul 26, 2018

I agree, that last 2 moves were the hard moves but oh such a fun route!!! Aug 5, 2018

Very enjoyable route. Movement felt natural and the jams were solid. The feet were clean the whole way, and the clipping felt comfortable. I'll definitely be coming back to do it again. Jun 29, 2019

Fun climb. The last bolt before the anchor is finger loose though. It is marked with a chalked X. Jul 5, 2020

This is good and has a very trad feel to it. Shorter folks will have to commit a bit sooner to the crux. May 19, 2024

Super fun route - will second that it feels VERY trad-y! Cryptic moves and a hidden jug make this feel a bit harder than 10c onsight especially closer to the anchors, but it's all there and definitely feels mid-10 after you suss out the beta. Very cool feeling moves. Try the extension - it's well protected and equally thoughtful, you can probably make it if you felt good up to the anchors. Jul 30, 2024
