Description
This route follows the prominent dike just right of Homicidal Maniac and Kim Jung Il. Not for the faint of heart, Asylum is a long pitch following a cool feature up a long section of the Barber Wall. Surprisingly good gear but in somewhat worrying rock the whole way. Begin by face climbing off a pedestal block aiming for a short right facing dihedral in orange rock. The dihedral provides the crux and the climbing eases up afterwards, providing a long alpine feeling romp up dike rock towards the top. When you get near the top, instead of finishing in the dike proper, move right and clip a pin and make some cool moves on good rock before topping out. You can do this as a single pitch, but your second should follow the route, and you'll need two ropes to rappel.
