Description
A variation of Kitsch Korner (5.6) and Goa Way (5.7R) that has pro options a bit closer to the ground (I didn't say close to the ground).
I stood at the base of "Kitsch Korner" with my partner and glanced down at my guidebook. The author, Kevin Keith, described it well: "unprotected face on very positive holds." Fifteen to twenty feet above the deck a crack system started. It looked slightly outward flaring but I thought I could get a 2 in it. I went up that face, got to the crack...and could not get a dadgum thing into it. Now gripped, I traversed right, hoping the crack system of Goa Way (5.7R) would take gear. It took a #3 (I put in two!). From here I continued up the slot of Goa Way (one or two .7 moves) and then traversed back on Kitsch Korner to finish the route.
