Aftershocks and Afterthoughts

Description

Follow the slanting groove up and over towards the right arête before moving back left to the shallow crack leading to a series of small undercling roofs. After arriving at the last and largest roof there are two variations.

Move left for easier glory climbing on the 'Aftershocks' variation (gear, ~11c).

For a little more challenge and exposure, climb the 'Afterthoughts' variation by moving right towards a pair of chicken heads and clipping a single bolt. Enjoy a no hands rest standing on the chicken heads and resist the urge to clip the bolt of Tower Block Neurosis around the corner. Stay on the face and use a crimp in the seam to the left to enter a final sequence finishing with a slap to good edge followed by jugs to the top. Might bump the grade closer to 11d.

Rap the route.

Location

On the side of the road kill crag, facing parking.

Protection

Two bolts to start followed by gear to #1. One bolt up high for the Afterthoughts variation. The anchors are easily accessible from the anchors of Gas Leak.
