Lapping the Sap

Description

Nice corner climbing. Worth doing if it isn't wet. Normally the bottom half is wet but there is a variation that angles in from the left (The Hornet) which lowers the difficulty to 5.9 but has a committing rightward traverse. If the bottom half is dry then turning the roof at the apex of the chimney corner is the crux.

Location

This is the left facing corner just to the left of the sport route Nine Lives. It starts out in a chimney type affair that gains a roof at half height. From there it follows the crack up the left facing corner to the top.

Protection

Standard NRG rack. 2 bolt anchor. Two.75 Camalots (green) are a must if doing the variation.
