Description
This route is an awesome face climb. The rating is steep, because it is a techy route where your sequencing matters!
The crux is between the 5th and 6th bolt at the small roof! The feet are small, but there are two small indents into the rock to put your big toe. Step up to a higher left foot, reach for the roof corner, and layback into it! Move your right foot to a smear, and put the left around the ledge to another smear. It is a pretty sweet move to get to the underclinging roof for a quick 6th bolt clip!
Luckily, the route is sustained, so be ready to grab some slope and get balancy!
Location
Keep walking on the climber's trail past the "Flying Dutchman" and "
Cape of Good Hope
". If you have made it to the area with "
Excited Delirium
", you have gone too far.
There are two random routes before this cliff, both less than 40 feet and with only two bolts. If you find those, walk around the gully to the cliff, and you will find the wall. However, look over the cliff to find the bolts!
Protection
It is a well-bolted face climb. There are no chains for the anchor, but there are bolts! If I am recalling correctly, there are 9 bolts to the anchor.
