Description
This climbs the right-facing corner, which forms the right-side of Monday Morning Slab, for two pitches.
There has been considerable rockfall in this area over the past several years.
Protection
Pro to 3".
Be sure to place gear high (i.e. not in the back of the corner) and use long slings. This will minimize rope drag and keep the rope clear of loose sections.
Pitch 1 is just doable with a 60m rope, pitch 2 is at least 67m.
The top of pitch one has two pairs of bolted anchors. The good, ASCA bolts are about 20 feet left on the large ledge, and have rap rings.
As originally climbed, this route was done in 4 pitches. Even today, this would minimize rockfall from rope management issues. Bring a helmet if you value your noggin!
