Description

A bolted face/arete route with the independent anchor. Start with pulling the roof at the first bolt. Moderate face climbing leads to technical lieback moves, then back to face climbing. You can protect between 7th and 8th bolt with yellow Metolius cam, where the left crack comes into the route. A final powerful move leads to the anchor.

Location

Located between Puck and Othello on the column/face with a roof start.

Protection

Bolts. One 3/4" cam useful. Anchor with chains.

[Hide Comment] Fun bolted route similar in grade to Measure for Measure. Jul 29, 2018
[Hide Comment] Nice! I TRed this a few years ago and considered bolting it, but never got around to it. Good work! Aug 31, 2018

[Hide Comment] Thanks Matt! I've cleaned the upper part where some of the obvious jugs were super loose prior to bolting and the bottom part is still a bit licheny, but the route is pretty safe all the way to the anchor. Give my other recent route a try. ('Hazy Shade of Summer' on Hand Job wall) Hope you enjoy it! Sep 2, 2018
