Description
This is an overhung aid line on the west face of moby dick. It is a series of hangerless bolts/pins with hook moves between. There is a 2 piece bolt anchor 2/3 of the way up the route to stop and lower from, or you can continue on hooks for another 12’ to the top which gives it the R rating. Although bolts at the top were chopped to make way for slackline bolts, This route can be top roped using those slackline bolts. Because there are no chains at the top, climbers will either need to down-climb the 5.8 on the east side, or bring a quick-link/ bail carabiner.
No route information is given in any of the guide books about the F/A or the route itself.
