Description Suggest change

This actually feels like one of the more "out there" single pitches I've done at Cathedral.  Start up as for Asylum, and then after pulling the Asylum crux, venture out left aiming for a crack in a roof with a somewhat detached looking block.  This part felt spooky as you have to do this section over tiny gear...  When you get to the roof, breathe, pull the roof, and enter a section of discontinuous crack climbing on really good rock, aiming for a bolt that guards the final and crux boulder problem.  I found the crux to be quite cryptic and hard.  Make a similarly difficult mantle and top out.  Rappel off of a tree or gear anchor quite a ways after the lip.  2 ropes needed for the rappel, and I highly recommend two ropes for the climbing as well. 

Location Suggest change

Start as for Asylum.  Right of Kim Jung Il, left of Lichen Delight.  Begins off of a pedestal block on ledge.

Protection Suggest change

I used small wires, ball nuts and tiny cams for the section below the roof. Otherwise, standard rack to #3. Doubles of mid size cams I recall being helpful. Double ropes recommended.
