Description

Soothsayer is an aesthetic line offering enjoyable climbing from bottom to top. Begin by ascending the arete, then trend right after three bolts, navigating through intriguing features on the face. Follow the central line of this rock panel to reach a hand crack, which leads up to a ledge and a two bolt anchor. Exercise caution around the rock near/in the hand crack - it appears stable. There's a fixed stopper approximately three-quarters of the way up the route, but otherwise, you'll be clipping bolts.

Location

Located in one of the slots below the Upper Great Face (UGF), it's approximately 100 feet downhill from the large tree on the climber's left side at the base of the UGF. It is located below the Druid Tower and about 5' left of the big chimney that starts Stolen Fruit.
