Description Suggest change

Climb Pitches 1 & 2 of Bob & Ralph's Most Excellent Adventure (or Asteroid Belt and continue straight where that route bears left)

Falling Bodies (Right) – Scramble up (one ‘tricky’ move) from the P2 anchor of B&RsMEA to the sandy ledge with the triple bolt anchor.  Falling Bodies (right) was the line originally proposed by Bob in 2015 for this upper headwall.  It takes the line on the grey-colored rock to the left of B&RsMEA. (See "History" in Bob & Ralph's Most Excellent Adventure" )

From the triple-bolt anchor head up into the shallow depression just left of the dark brown rock of “MEA”. Gear, 0.5 Cam, on left about 20ft up. The first bolt is colored red and is at the crux (5.8-ish ).  Continue onto the “hump”.  Step Left (bolt) then more easily past several more bolts (well left of “MEA”) moving up and, at the top, to the right to the common anchor.  115 +/- ft  5.8-ish

Descent-  From the double bolt anchor at the top, rap with a single 70m (but maybe not a single 60m) to the triple bolt anchor on the right end of the sandy ledge. From there, either rap 4 more raps with a single 70m (but NOT a single 60m) down the single-70m-rope rap line.

If using double 70m ropes, from the top rap 3 raps down the bolts anchor line of B&R'sMEA.
