Description
Conspiracy of Ravens was established in November of 2021. The climb was envisioned by a local many years before this publication. They have decided against claiming the FA because parts of the line have been accessed historically.
After Conspiracy of Ravens was established, but not yet published, some information about that side of Lost Horse wall started to develop on this platform. The topo shows what is believed to be the best, most accurate information to distinguish the established routes on Lost Horse right.
Pitch 1
Start at the dead Nolina. Go up to the very featured left facing corner. Then step left to a bolted anchor 5.6pg
Pitch 2
Go up from the bolted anchor with a hard face move into a wide crack to a big ledge, with an anchor on the large boulder. 5.9pg13
Pitch 3
The money pitch! Clamber on up to the top of the boulder. Your first piece is in a horizontal crack that protects the traverse going right (very committing). Continue up after the traverse to a lay back to access the slab. There you will find one bolt to protect the slab. After clipping the bolt proceed up and right to a left facing wide dihedral. This is where the business begins and can feel a little runout. After pulling the strenuous move follow the right facing dihedral to finish. The last part is the crux of Gossamer Wings. You will find the last bolted anchor there. 5.10c/d
Descent: Repel the route back to the ground with one 60m rope. Or walk off via the original Lost Horse descent to the right.
Location
Conspiracy of Ravens begins at the original Gossamer wings which is now being called the “new” start of GWings; however it does not follow the same line at the top of pitch one. GWings goes right and Conspiracy of Ravens goes left. See attached photograph to locate the pin that was put in for GWings. These two routes will flirt with one other again at the top of the wall. It is located on the right side of Lost Horse wall, but by the leftmost climbs of the MP designated section.
