Description
The Charmed Life is a long pitch of desert slab. Like its neighbouring routes, it's a real calf-burner. It was bolted ground-up so the spacing may be considered a little spicy for some. Not dangerous at all, but perhaps just exciting enough to make it memorable.
Route: Start up a shallow left-facing crescent which soon fizzles out, leaving you with a seemingly endless friction romp. Slightly crispy stone at the 3rd bolt gradually gives way to a smooth varnished slab with very few features. At the 8th bolt, surmount the undercut basalt dike and finish on an exfoliating slab.
Descent: Rappel from the two-bolt ring anchor. Read below:
- With one 60m rope you will need to stop halfway down at the top-anchor for So Rebel (climber's left).
- With one 70m rope you can make it to the ground but you must trend climber's left to land on higher ground. - knot your ends!!!
- With two ropes you will easily make it all the way down.
To set up a top-rope, keep the following things in mind:
- You need a 70m rope for this.
- Use long cordelette for your anchor material.
- Have the belayer scramble a little ways up and left along the base of the wall to belay from a higher position.
- Knot the end for safety!!
