Sensuous Mortician
Sep 21, 2024 · 2 pitches. Lead / Onsight. Straightforward, linked into Fold Out. Once on top of formation, put away a rope and short rope clients into rap stance. Good terrain Boulder on skiers left. Park them and down climb. Throw in a #3 cam behind them, take their belay devices and travel clove to anchor. Good spot to pre rig atc. Maybe munter them in. I forget the distance. 2 30m raps. Keep rope skiers right of tree on second rap.

La Cierta Edad
Sep 21, 2024 · 4 pitches. Lead / Onsight. Bring clients up to first ledge, but not the top ledge. Don’t leave them at the very bottom of the route. Sling it well, it’s long and sloping, drag can suck. Build anchor in cave with .75/1 sizes Keep them positioned under roof solid you fall in chimney you don’t land on them. Slings packs with double slings. They’ll need to chimney eventually. .75/1 in first crack then bolt then #2. The next anchor stance sucks. Next time I’ll Add pitch 3 on to 2. More rope length out at crux and eliminates the possibility of falling on your clients since it’s kinda cruxy off the belay.
