Desperato

FA: Johannsolo?
California > Tahquitz & Suic… > Suicide Rock > (t) Eagle Pinnacle

Description

Very thin climbing on crispy micro edges up the middle of the face.  Pretty good actually.  Not sure if it has been climbed before but there were many small flakes that broke while finding a line that was climbable.

Location

Climb to the first bolt of Untickable then just right and up the middle of the face.  Some very small edges that may clean up or may become unclimbable.

Protection

TR anchors at top for Untickable

[Hide Comment] Great route! It seems about the same difficulty as Untickable so I think its about 12a. Some of the flakes are a little friable but it will clean up with more traffic. It may get a little harder if some of the flakes break off but there are also a lot of solid edges to work with. Jan 16, 2020
