Description Suggest change

Start by bushwacking through some moss and shrubs that have taken root at the base of the climb.  Once past the vegetation, clip a bolt and move onto a slab with vertical cracks.  Follow these up until they run out, and then move left through awkward terrain and suspect rock (I broke a block off here and went for a ride) to gain the right facing corner beneath a prominent roof.  Fun moves bring you past the roof on the right and through a series of overhangs up and left to the chains.

I would have given this route 3 stars if the start was less of a jungle and that block hadn't exploded - the moves up through the corner and roofs are really fun.

Location Suggest change

A detached flake leans against the wall about 40 feet right of the prominent thin black streak that marks the left end of the Circus Wall section of the cliff.  High Wire starts just to the right of this detached flake.  The approach trail brings you to the cliff about 40 feet to the right of this route.

Protection Suggest change

One bolt. Gear to 3" and small to medium stoppers. 70 meter rope necessary to lower off.
