What exactly am I doing here?
3 to 5 pitches of moderate and easy climbing.
P-1,2: You need to choose your adventure by climbing Anthropocene or Smilodon and continue on to Mosasaurus to the RacerX/Argentinosaurus anchor. Climbers wanting a more heady or difficult start can approach via Racer X or Argentinosaurus. Pitches 1 and 2 can be easily linked.
P3 - Start from the Argentinosaurus/Racer X anchor. Head up the left steep flakes (as for The Prehistoric Connection). At bolt 4, below the rope ladder, head leftward up some fun ledgy moves to a right leaning pillar and a rather featureless face. This is the crux (beta: the good holds are hidden). At the bottom of the crux section, complain about how it's over-bolted. As you climb the crux, recognize how wrong you were about the bolts and clip every one of them. A few more moves get you to a comfy belay ledge.
P4 - Continue up the highly featured section using hand and foot jams, laybacks, corner smears and even a little slab. At 5.8/9, it will help you discover your climbing weaknesses while clipping happy happy bolts. As you finish the route, GO RIGHT to the shared Prehistoric Connection anchor .
P5 (optional) - You can scamper up the last pitch of The Prehistoric Connection to add a little "Cherry on Top" 5.8.
Linking pitches 3 and 4 is NOT recommended. The shape of the wall and the noise from the river make communication between the base of P3 and the top of P4 damn near impossible. I've actually pony-expressed communication between climber and belayer from the road, yet they could not hear a sound from each other.
Descent: 2 long raps with a 70M rope from the P4 anchor. Rap to the Argentinosaurus/Racer X anchor then 1 more ROPE STRETCHING rap to the ground.
Historical note: Adam Wood and Michal Rynkiewicz began working on this line in ~2019. They invited me to help with it and the 3 of us spent a full day working it. It was the only line the 3 of us worked on together. As can happen with developers, new potential routes are distracting and it was left unfinished. In 2024, all sorts of hard workers stepped up to finish the line, knowing it would be climbed to honor all those who experienced loss when Michal passed.
To All Michal's Family and Friends, this is YOUR line.
