Legacy

A proud line that tests one's power endurance and composure. Currently, the hardest route in the Santa Monicas.

After climbing Choptop, milk the good rest before firing into the steepest part of the White Wall. The route is often considered a powerful v9 boulder into another v9 without rest. Big moves to gain the third permadraw are followed by a crux lockoff over the bulge to a two finger pocket. Keep it together for the next couple moves before clipping the last perma and finishing on easier climbing.

Originally graded 14a in the guidebook, but crucial holds have broken since publication. 14b is consensus among those who have sent post-breaks.

Climb Choptop then continue upward through permadraws. Climbs to the chains of State of Grace.

5 bolts to 4 permadraws. open shuts
