Description Suggest change

Posting this up without having eaten the whole enchilada might be sacrilegious but some of us can’t eat dairy or carbs or vegetables. Everyone who has climbed at the Rapture has probably looked up at this and thought what a line! The original line turns the roof at the apex of the great arch and continues up some finger crack and slab and takes some small brass.

The link of p1 into swept away is a stellar line with a unique style that protects very well. Thanks to Andy Bennet for giving the route a little love there’s no choss once you’re in the business (bat poop is another story). Burly climbing up steep offwidth, baggy hands, and fists gives way to the more delicate thin crack and face of swept away. Runners kept the rope drag down. 

Location Suggest change

Left of Rapture. Obvious steep left leaning dihedral that forms the great arch with Swept Away. 

Protection Suggest change

For the link: lots of runners, nuts, doubles .2-4. Triple 1- 4 wouldn’t go unused. And a 5 or 6 might let you layback the ow but not necessary if you get in there. Add thin stuff for the whole line.
