Description
Similar to Border Line this is also nice and long with a tremendous variety of climbing. Very enjoyable.
Pitch 1 - From the spacious belay ledge shared with Never Ending Story start near the left side on a low angle slab loaded with features. Take the line just right of the left corner. Easy climbing up to ledge where the route steepens directly below a piton. Move up, clip the pin (don't worry this thing would hold a truck) then make tenuous moves up a narrow slab to a thin crack. Follow this thin crack which will eventually widen to perfect hands on a slab that willl bring you to a bolted anchor at a small stance. This is the same anchor as Border Line. 5.8 G 32 meters
Pitch 2 - Move right above the anchor through a slight overlap. Follow bolts up towards an overhang. Climb through the overhang and then to a ledge with optional belay at a bolted anchor. Clip one of the bolts of the anchor with a long runner and continue up and then slightly right to the top of the wall. This will deposit you in front of The Alley. If you wish to climb in the Alley belay off a large tree or head up and left to the bolted anchor for TLF. 5.9 PG 30 meters
