Lift Up Your Face

This starts as a fine short sport climbing pitch on generally good rock then degenerates into a mostly bolted pitch over chossy ground and then a full-trad pitch over similarly broken terrain. (1) Clip bolts and juke your way up a blunt arête to a decent ledge and chains – worth doing as a warm-up for More than a Feeling and Walking the Plank upslope. (5.8, 50 feet.) (2) Continue clipping bolts, trending left when it doubt, to another set of chains. (5.6, 80 feet.) (3) We worked back right past a gully system to a steeper crack system that ended in the vicinity of a huge but somewhat sloppy ledge, but the Calderone guide shows the route as climbing the gully system to the top of Disciple Ridge.  In either case, the pitch ends at chain anchors. (5.6, at least 100 feet.)

is the probably the first bolted route you’ll encounter if approached viea the East Face of Challenge Buttress and Vector Madness Wall.  See beta photograph.

Single set of cams, a dozen draws, and some shoulder-length slings. To descend, plan on two or three rappels from chains; don’t pass up any stations if in doubt.
