Description
Another linkup at Eagles? Yeah, but I think this one's fairly cool and logical.
Start up Shadow Catcher and climb all the hard bits of that until you reach the fourth bolt, then clip that and begin heading up and left running it out on jugs until you reach the long chain on Kinetica. Clip that and then keep heading left (as for Mitochondria), clipping the long chain on The Shikimate Pathway and then finishing up that route. There is a bit of a runout from the fourth bolt of Shadow Catcher to the long chain on Kinetica, but the climbing is easy and secure and that path is probably the best way to minimize rope drag. Just don't blow the clip on the chain.
This linkup manages to traverse the entire roof system right to left. Because of that it feels like a pretty logical line despite being a linkup of three existing routes.
