Description

There is a left line on this lower crag. Perhaps it's been done. The left variation goes fairly easily. The right variation is a bit harder.

Ascend a natural weakness on the left side. Once at the top of the crack, you can swing around to the left on easy terrain.

Or, you can try the slot past the bush passing a bulge. This was a challenging 10- PG-13.

Note, this may be easier for taller folks. It could feel harder for thicker folks. It sort of feels Vedauwoo-esque.

I was considering a bolt on the traverse, but one can do this on gear...with some spice...so no bolt. It's a bit challenging to get to be able to place pro on the slot, don't miss the good right foot hold.

This one sort of called out to be climbed after flailing on a thin slab TR probe.

Location

This is on the left side of the lower crag and to the left of

Tropicalia

.

Protection

There are 2 bolts at the top of

Tropicalia

for anchors.

To do the easier TR, set directionals with a #3.5 and/or #4 Camalot and 4' slings.

To do the harder TR, directionals with a #3.5 Camalot & 4' sling, #5 Camalot (old size), and #4 Bigbro will reduce swing.

To lead the right version (which will be interesting), some gear possibilities include: #0.75 Camalot, wire, orange TCU, wire, #3.5 Camalot, yellow Alien, #5 Camalot (old size), #4 Bigbro.
