When I named this route I mispelled the name and tried to correct the name which should read: Wall of Khazad-dum, but never got to doing it. So this was a fun route for me because I always began the route in a dirty alcove near the bottom and put in nuts in opposition because it went from left to right. It continued up and right through a vegetative section then the real climbing began to a smooth area of rock with a few pins that I clipped anyway.You then move right toward a weakness that can be protected. There is a variation that goes way right and seemed to me to be really hard, but I stayed in line to exit through the obvious notch......The chockstone always bothered me but that thing was pretty bomber and never ever moved...You protect the last move with a blue camelot deep in the crack....This was a thoughtful climb and loads of fun. You can build a creative anchor inwhich to belay your second once you are at the top.
