Description

This route shares the same start as Splendor. Rather than travers left before the sloped ledge as you do on Splendor, continue up and over to stay in the corner system. Pass two small roofs in the corner to get established above into easier terrain. Folks have different opinions on which roof is the crux. Rather than climb through the root system of the tree above, step right onto the face and continue up to the shared anchor with Copperhead Row.

Location

Same start as Splendor.

Protection

Standard Rack. I think I used and offset at the first roof. May not be needed.
