Description Suggest change

This is a new link up in Middle Earth.  Start with the route "Dead Marshes" which climbs a wide chimney into a easy roof pull, then continues up a prominent wide hand/fist crack.  The link up then traverses a ledge to finish on "Orthanc" face.  Pro is great the whole way, but be careful traversing and getting to the bolt on "Orthanc" face.  

Belay off single piton or bolts for "Middle Finger"  

Rappel "Middle Finger" or carefully simu notch. 

Location Suggest change

The start of the route is directly climbers right of "Shelob's Lair" and starts in the obvious wide chimney.

Protection Suggest change
