Description Suggest change

Higher Messiah is an extension or second pitch to the 5.10 base route, Leper Messiah.  It links into a single pitch from the ground, creating a 20 bolt, 165 ft. mega-pitch with the 5.11 crux near the top.  

Caution:  At mid-height it crosses a nearly unavoidable and mysteriously attached large block.  A two hour cleaning session with a crowbar produced the current, seemingly solid configuration (Oct. 2018).  Tread lightly. Geologic time includes now.  

Location Suggest change

Start on Leper Messiah and continue straight up the second pitch.

Protection Suggest change

9 bolts as a second pitch, or 20 clips for the full link-up.
