Send In the Clowns

This is a fun, single pitch sport route on the Santa Claws Buttress that follows wavy, obtuse dihedral features. Start left of

Santa Claws

, and do increasingly difficult climbing past the first 3 bolts. When the climbing seems too thin to continue, leap (or do it statically) to a big, flat edge that is in the corner system to the left, and mantel it out. Continue up easy but runout climbing until you can clip the fourth bolt that is located to the side of a left-facing corner. One more perplexing sequence is required to get established in the corner, then continue more easily to the roofs of

Santa Claws

. Follow that route to its chains.

It climbs the Wavy corner in the middle of the Santa Claws Buttress.

6 draws and a blue Metolius cam for the moves right before the chains (optional). This route can also easily be toproped from the

Santa Claws

anchors.
