Description
An exquisite series of rails strikes through a perfectly uniform 35° panel at the top of the UTW. I took a drone flight over here one day because of the steepness of the panel and the near inability to see what's on it from anywhere on the ground. What a delight it was to come across this. Ryan and I got out as soon as we could to bolt it and play around on it. Frankly, neither of us are even remotely close to capable in relation to this route. I cannot imagine myself doing even the easiest moves at the top. Some talented soul will, however, absolutely be able to put it all together.
Logistically, there are multitudinous options for an approach and the belay hang is actually very nice, on a comfy wide ledge with commanding views of Mt. Index, the town, Mt. Baring and beyond. It stays in shade through the morning, as the panel shies towards the west, meaning it will have a longer season than most routes here.
The only detractor, maybe, is that it looks like you could traverse in from the left to start higher on the rails in one place, or climb the little flake at the beginning on the left, but maybe that's cool too. The grand prize is starting on the jug just above the belay and doing the direct line.
