Description Suggest change

Extreme Unction climbs the first set of corners right of The Gathering and finishes on a steep, thin face. Both pitches are good, particularly the second.

Pitch 1 5.7  Climb through the dike to a right facing corner which starts 20 feet up. Climb up the corner, then left a few feet to another right facing corner. Continue up and eventually step left to a bolted belay on a sloping ledge.

Pitch 2 5.12-  Climb the corner and face past two bolts. Eventually reach a short crack which leads in to a left facing corner. Up this to a good stance.  Weave right across the face, then back left, and lastly straight up past bolts to a comfortable ledge and bolted belay.

You can continue up The Gathering or rappel. A 70m rope gets you down with 5-10 feet of easy scrambling. The first pitch belay is not equipped for rappel.
