Egressus

Description

The feet are less secure at the beginning on the slab. The start takes small pro, but the holds and the available protection get better as the wall gets steeper. There is a big, well-set chockstone about 2/3 of the way up. For the final moves you can layback for 10 feet right below the anchor or you can go left on easier terrain.

Style note: the route was inspected on rappel to clean off dangerous, loose blocks. It was first climbed as a solo-TR. Led it a few weeks later.

: to go out, leave, depart, exit.

Location

The crack is below the rappel bolts at the grassy platform that marks the midpoint along the fin that is Easter Island. Hang your packs on the bolts, and rap to the bottom. A 70m rope is required for a single rope rappel - watch your ends!

Protection

From wires to a #4.
