Description
This route is amazing and varied! Although in its current state I would say it’s one of the most serious routes in the park. Crystals break in the needles even on popular routes, so don’t underestimate the extreme nature of this route.
P1: Climb the right facing flake just uphill from “Bronchial Distress” at the top of the flake clip some bad fixed pro and back it up as best you can. From the fixed pro climb up and slightly left to an ancient button head. Clip the bolt and embark on a voyage up to the distant piton in the flake. Once you’ve found the pin and compose yourself before your next journey, I would take the time to back it up with everything you can. From the pin quest upwards for what seems like eternity toward the large horizontal break. At the horizontal place a piece or three and climb out right to the anchors of “Bronchial”.
P2: Traverse directly right from the anchor heading towards the hanging chimney. At the base of the chimney enter it and grovel to the summit of inner outlet.
