Description
Cryptic and delicate movement past bolts and pins leads onto a slab. This first half goes around 10d with emphasis on reading the rock for smart feet. Clip a fixed pin in a hole with optional gear then start sneaking up one of Index’s finest slab puzzles. This section has a very “Phone Calls from the Dead” feel.
Follow subtle knobs with hand foot matches past bolts. Cut left below a final angled piton (climbing to this piton puts you off route) to a crack taking small cams (was previously a piton) before one bolt and the anchor. The crux can sit in a small lingering wet streak visible from the road. It’s dry if the belay chains are dry.
This climb can be top roped by climbing a short 5.9 corner above the Racer X pitch two anchors. This corner may need some cleaning.
