Description
Can't believe this never got done! It climbs the face directly under the anchors of Waverly Waster, and is a totally independent line except for the last 10 feet that it shares with Menagerie to Waverly. The story I heard from Bruce Burgess is that Whitney Heuermann aided and bolted it in the 90s, but it never got sent and eventually Bruce took the hangers off the bolts since no one was climbing it. I did a 1 for 1 replacement of the old rusty bolts didn't add any new ones where there wasn't a bolt already.
The movent is super cool. It's not very hard up to the crux except for one tricky slab move at the first bolt, but the crux is a long sequence from the crescent feature at the 3rd bolt all the way to the 4th bolt. A long rightward span move from the crescent leads you to some hard crimping with marginal smedges for feet. I was fully spanned out with a 5'8" wingspan, so someone with shorter arms will probably have to use different beta that might make it feel more like 5.13 for them.
