Description Suggest change

The route climbs a right-leaning open book that's defined by gorgeous clean white rock on the left and rather lichen-y rock on the right.  There are enough holds in the lichen to allow a distinct line up to the first ledge, but there's not much in the way of protection that way.  Descent - There is no fixed anchor.  Since PK rules prohibit rapping directly off the trees, follow the path left and upwards to the top of the Clamshell Wall. From there a rappel may be made from the Dirt-issima bolts.  

Location Suggest change

25 feet right of the start of Dark Roast. You can reach this spot either by scrambling up from the start of Dirt-issima or via a series of grassy ledges 30 feet right (this being the normal way to get above the Fortress wall).

Protection Suggest change

Cams from tight fingers to #1. A tiny wire (#3 BD Stopper) can be placed, albeit with some difficulty, in the seam for the crux.
