Description
Sea of Cowards shares the first two pitches with Hicotomus Hikodemus.
P1. 5.9, chossy. Climb up bulges and ledges trending mostly to the right of the open book corner. Finish with a fun bulge/overhang and a nice big belay ledge at the anchors, 60-70 feet.
P2, 5.10+, the choss continues. Climb the open book/corner system with lots of loose rock and flakes. Heads up to your belayer. Stay in the open book corner for the first 4 or 5 bolts, then traverse to the left side of the open book/corner system. Climb up the left side/face to the anchors, 80-90 feet.
P3. 5.9. Traverse right across the gullies to the ledge with the anchors for P4, 30 feet. Enjoy big exposure.
P4. 5.10d, the money pitch. Climb straight up from the belay (steep face), and climb out the left side of the big, triangular roof. After the roof, keep climbing up trending to the right, then go straight up to the anchors.
The route is really well-bolted. It gets a PG-13 rating on the first two pitches. There is lots of loose rock/choss. The rock quality gets better the higher you get.
Location
Start on the far left side of the Shark's Fin Wall. When you are in the far left corner, there are two crack systems. Both Hicotomus Hikodemus. 30 feet and Sea of Cowards climb up the left crack system for two pitches, 5.9 and 5.10+.
