Tide Me Over

Tide Me Over is a direct start variation to the first pitch of the old aid line Prime Rib of Rurp. Rather than going up the original loose, poorly protected 5.8 chute, start out on the face, launching up into the steep horizontals on jugs. Good gear, a 5.10 pull, and traversing on hand rails leads to a rock-around-the-corner move at the base of the arete. The arete climbing is moderate with great position, and fun as hell.

2 bolt belay with biners for lowering/rapping.

Upper west face of Neptune, between Rapture and Cream of Belay.

Cams up to #3 BD, with microcams being pretty crucial.
