Description
5 long pitches of slabby adventuring on The Big Sleep. Enjoy crystal intrusions, quartz ledges, water pots, and huge knobs on an old school climbing trip. The crux pitch leaves the slab behind for a change and pulls on a steep flake to start to a field of giant knobs to the anchor at about 65 meters. Two of the pitches will require simul-climbing if you don't have a 70m rope, and 2 will stretch your 60 to its max. All belays have 2 bolt anchors. See Grahm Doe's excellent Shuteye Ridge guidebook for pitch by pitch descriptions.
DESCENT: 5 two-rope raps down Afternoon Nap or walk off to the left side of the dome.
