Description
Dark Matter is the diminutive, darker, mysterious bastard child of the classic "space" lines to the left.
Approach this route by either climbing Culp's Fault's P1 (5.8+) or Captain Beyond's P1+P2 (5.10a).
Dark Matter climbs the large left-facing corner with the obvious offwidth crack. The route follows a natural crack that has surprisingly been unclimbed all these years. It leads to the broad saddle between the Middle Tower and South Tower of Mickey Mouse Wall.
Descent options:
- Rappel down Culp's Fault. There is currently no tat on the start of this rappel series.
- It is also possible to climb easy 5.6 slabs from the saddle, following the path of least resistance for 1 long pitch to the top of the Middle Tower, and down via the standard Mickey Mouse rappels with one 60m rope.
