Description
A long link up pitch that combines most of the good climbing on Close Shave, Window Shopper, Shattered Glass, and Supergrinder. Long curving pitch, watch the rope run.
Do all but the last bolt of Close Shave, move to the cabled draw at the overlap on Window Shopper, do the remainder of WS into the crux of Shattered Glass, then finish on the patina of the second pitch of Supergrinder.
A single 80m will not get you down (barely makes it back to the cabled WS draw.) However, there are several options available to descend on a single rope (even a 70m) from the Supergrinder P2 anchor.
Alternative finish: instead of moving into the patina at the height of the Supergrinder P2 crux, reverse that sequence by going right and then down climbing a few moves to the Supergrinder P1 anchor (the first bolt of Supergrinder P2 protects the follower nicely.) This simplifies everything with a pitch that reaches the ground using a single rope.
