Description
This is the route which is at the base of the West Face and is passed on the way to New Normal. Three separate sport routes quite close to each other offer essentially different options to continue to the upper pitches of Tenderline.
Pitch #1: Thin bolt protected steep slab climbing on the right cluster of spurts a two bolt belay. 5.10d, 20m, bolts.
Pitch #2: Trend left and up toward the obvious crack and gully system. Pass a fixed piton and follow the crack system up to the "pedestal" and two bolt belay. 5.6, 55m, Good assortment of Camalots.
Pitch #3: Go left and follow weaknesses up the slab to a two bolt belay below the Great White Roof. 5.6, 12m.
Pitch #4: The Money Pitch IMHO. Climb out left through steep terrain on unique buggy and crystal holds left of the great White Roof. A brilliant but cruxy Smoot lead to a two bolt belay. 5.10d++, 6 bolts and a weird piton:), 20m.
Descent: Rappel the route OR trend left and top out via NEW NORMAL final pitches.
