Description Suggest change

Big adventure climb.

Starts just left of Blood Meridian. Navigate what is left of extremely brittle holds and slopers, making a hard left at the first bolt. One more tough move around the second bolt gives way to a good stance and some easy but chossy climbing to a no-hands. Follow crumbling jugs to an intense boulder problem through the roof. Establish on the final headwall and don't blow it at the end!

Note: rope drag is horrendous because of the initial traverse at the start. The original vision of this line was to use two ropes, dropping the first one after reaching the no-hands ledge. Use caution if you are going to attempt the original line in this manner.

This is a RARELY repeated line due to the logistical nightmare that it entails as well as the lack of apparent holds at the beginning. More power to anyone bold enough to attempt it in this manner. 

Location Suggest change

Left of Blood Meridian. Start can be marked by noticing left-trending bolt line that leads to massive roof.
