Description
One of the many legendary lines established by Jim Bridwell and team. Historically significant and proud.
This line sails it's way up large arching features to the bottom of the giant Black Dihedral. It then gets even more exposed and links seams and cracks up the Bearing Straights to Island In The Sky, one of the greatest ledges on El Cap.
Certainly not a trade route. Some mank, some dirt, plenty of adventure.
Most modern teams start on South Seas.
