Anakin

5.7, TR, 20 ft (6 m),  Avg: 1 from 1 vote
FA: First top roped by Nick Schultz
S Dakota > Custer SP > Moonlight Ridge > Galaxy

Description

Utilize the anchors at the top of Darth Vader to top rope this climb.  Anakin ascends the opposite side and some slings are necessary to extend the chains over the top. Follow the crack on the SW face as it diagonals up and left to a good stance 10’ below the top.  There is a bolt here but as of September 2025 there was a nut but no hanger on it. 

Location

From the start of Darth Vader and Dark Helmet move left around the corner to the opposite side of the formation. 

Protection

Usually toproped after leading Darth Vader. However it can be led with BD cams 0.4-2 and a bolt hanger for the protruding stud up higher
