Description
Begin at a large side pull, right of the arete. Climb small edges on the face up to a stance. Place protection in the left angeling crack, then climb straight up using another side pull around the arete. Top out on big edges.
Granite Doxology: a gymnastic formula of praise to God.
Location
The face and arete directly right of the Bitchin’ Disco Time crack. At the right end of the Octopus’s Garden wall. Area F in the Karabin guide.
Protection
Easily toproped by slinging boulders with 20’ webbing. This climb is dangerous to lead but not unreasonably so. The first 15’ feet of climbing is unprotected but crashpads will minimize the risk. A solid medium sized nut, and/or small cam, can be placed in the diagonal crack from a good stance. Falling off the big holds at the top is unlikely but carries a potential for the leader to hit the ground. In case of a fall, the belayer should be prepared to jump off a boulder in order to quickly remove slack.
