Feeding The Beast (aka Beast Food)

Description

This route is on the lower Animal World buttress, immediately left of

Joint Venture's

upper half. Where

Joint Venture

heads to the right of the 2 bolt mid-height anchor, Feeding the Beast stays to the left of the line of bolts on the upper section. It could be rapped in two, short raps if you don't have a 60m rope.

Climb up the fun 11a/b face at the base of

Joint Venture

through 4 bolts, past the 2 bolt anchor, stay left and up the dihedral (5.8 or 9-ish...takes gear) to the start of the bolts and the meat of the pitch. The awkward crux will call on your crack technique and your endurance, so don't dawdle until you clip the anchors.

Though the rock quality and the gear is good, I'm not sure it merits two full stars--- maybe 1.5 ....

Protection

60m rope, 12 quickdraws for the bolts, and mid-size cams (#1-3) for the dihedral. (I placed a red Alien and a red Camalot). Rap anchors.
