Description
If this pitch was the only route on Hidden Wall, it would be worth the effort alone! Ginsu begins with short (10ft) section of A0 climbing the rope ladder off the main ledge on the North face. From here you climb the amazing laser cut flake for several bolts of very fun 5.10 ish climbing before the flake terminates. Here you continue up the steepening wall linking crazy fun knobs and dikes before the final crux at the last bolt. The crux requires a crazy backstep mantel onto your last mega knob before leaning left to the anchors shared with the first pitch of "Millennium Falcon" to the left. A pitch you will remember forever guaranteed!
***Need an 80m to rappel from the anchor!
Location
Ginsu starts at the far right end of the main ledge on Hidden Dome's North face. There are currently fixes lines on the ledge for safely navigating and all seemed to be in great shape. At the far end of the ledge ascend the 15ft section of fixed rope to the belay at the start of the route located by the obvious tree, ya cant miss it.
