Description
Pitch 1: Same first pitch as Imbibing the Movements on Human Destiny: A thin corner crack (~5.8) is gear protected (small cams) and leads to low-fifth climbing before the first bolt about 35' off the deck. A mixture of gear and bolts takes you to a large ledge.
Pitch 2: Traverse by using the bolts that go out right. (The bolts going up left are for the 5.10b.) This pitch is well bolted and doesn't take gear. As of 2021 it's still chossy and a hand-sized hold broke off in my hand. The exposure and views are breathtaking. One bolt along the way is hidden until you get high enough, but it's there. Climber goes out of sight of the belayer so use good verbal communication.
The belay at the 2-bolt anchor has remarkable mountain views. Getting back to the ground is tricky and sketchy. Be careful of kicking down loose rock. Take a belayed walk and a couple traverse climbing moves out left to the anchor for Imbibing and make 2 raps down.
