Description
Outback slab sits just below Shangri-la. This popular** link-up takes you up both faces, climbing most of potter mountain.
P1 (5.6 G, trad gear, 25m) climb P1 of Adam's Direct (this is also p1 of gomez)
P2 (5.7, sport, 32m, 5 bolts + anchor) climb P2 of Adam's Direct
P3 (5.5, 27m, 3 bolts + anchor) climb P3 of Adam's Direct
P4 (walking) from the top of Adam's direct, walk straight uphill through the forest about 5-10 minutes to the base of Shangri-la. Move right until you find the Wild Things wall (with a nice clearing below the face and the bolts of Where the Wild Things Are visible).
P5-variation 1 (5.6, 20m) climb the easy offwidth for the first half of Ebb and Flow. When you reach the left-rising ledge with bushes, move left to to a belay at the tree that is the base of Little Max
P5-variation 2 (5.9- G, trad + 2 bolts, 25m) climb Litter's Runt (the run-out portion of this pitch has been retro-bolted and many climber's find it easier, because of the solid protection, than P1 of Stop Making Sense)
P6 (5.8, sport, 6 bolts + bolted anchor) climb p2 of Little Max to the bolted anchor at the Belly Button Ledge
P7 (5.7, sport) follow P3 of Stop making sense left and down along the belly-button ledge, then up the line of bots to the belay.
P8 (5.7 1 bolt then trad) follow P4 of Stop Making Sense back right to a bolted anchor at the top of the cliff.
Descent: two double rope rappels get you to the bottom of Shangri-La cliff. reverse the approach trail to get back to the car. Do not leave anything at the base of Adam's Direct... it's a long detour to get there.
** "popular" on Potter mountain just means it's been climbed more than once.
