Description
This route on the upper ledge of razor buttresses stays on the easy terrain just below the gigantic traversing roof. This feature is easily seen from the amphitheater area, many harder variations are probably possible going through the roof.
P1 5.5 85ft find the start at the base of the giant corner, climb the crack almost the entire way, it provides excellent pro through the cruxy traverse at the end of the pitch, option to take the face with less protection in several spots.
P2 5.3 90ft follow the crack for protection but climb on the face below it for the easiest terrain. Both start and finish of this pitch are on a nice ledge. Was able to make anchor by wrapping a massive block
P3 5.4 95ft again follow the easy terrain just below the crack this has a small face climb section to top out
Location
The upper ledge(dinner ledge) of the razor buttresses. Take the sunshine trail to the middle of the rock jock trail, turn north, soon after turn right in a small pine grove for the trail down to razor point, razor edge and zen point. Head to razor point which is clearly marked on most linville maps. From razor point head south along the top of the cliff, as the rock ends you are able to make a switchback and then hug the rock, this will lead you to a steep but hikeable chute at the base of the chute turn north and walk a short distance under the overhangs and look for the large corner
