Description
The belay is located on a slab to the left of the midway anchor for The Speed of Life. The climb starts up a seam feature for a couple bolts before you launh up the sustained gently overhanging face. Crux comes at a move right on bad feet. Mantle onto a ledge and recover. The climbing from there is on the only flakey rock on the route. Lieback up a thin flake and surmount the roof above. These moves are probably 11+ but with the small ledge below they feel a little committing.
Location
Looking up from the Dam at Ellery Lake the clean shield of gold and white granite really pop from their surroundings. The king line obviously being the splitter The Speed of Life. But the face to the left always intruiged me. Eventually I walked around and rapped in and was lucky enough to find a line of crimps through the vertical and slightly overhanging wall. Sound and Vision starts after the first pitch of The Speed of Life, so bring what gear is needed for that.
