Description

Follow the left side of the prominent grey pillar to the right of "The Wall" and just right of the huge alcove.

This is one of 6 routes that is accessed from the broad ledge below a broad steep face called "The Wall". Use one of 4 approach pitch options (Don't Bring Me Down, I Turn to Stone, Stairway to Heaven, or Barracuda) to gain chain anchors on a comfortable ledge.

Use one of several approach pitch options to get to the comfortable ledge below "The Wall". Move the belay to the anchors on the far right side of the ledge. Move right to gain the face of the pillar. Work up the face sometimes working a hand or more on the left edge of the pillar. Continue up to a steep bulge with a short finger crack. Continue up on vertical chert to the anchors.

Location

Starting on the big ledge below "The Wall", Comfortably Numb is the route just Right of Run Like Hell.

Protection

10 bolts and sport anchors. Single 60 meter rope gets you back to the ledge. Second rap gets you back to the ground.
