Description
The first of the epic central Shore routes to be put up. Like the others, this one will test your endurance, finger strength and foot stamina. Begin with a few bolts of slightly easier climbing staying a little left of the bolts. The climbing gradually builds to harder crimping pulling over onto the first vertical headwall. Enjoy some easier climbing and a good rest around the 10th bolt and prepare for the second vertical headwall. More crimping and big moves for a few bolts gradually eases off to 25 feet of nice 5.10-ish climbing to the anchor. A bit of loose rock at the bottom and top, but still quite classic as long as you don't mind vertical crimping for what seems like miles.
Location
Just left of where the trail meets up with the wall. Look for the steeper start on blocky blue stone.
Protection
18 bolts to chain anchor. Might not be a bad idea to stick-clip the second bolt. 70 meter rope is mandatory! Even with a 70 you'll want to tie a knot in the end.
