Orange Corner

Imagine a plumb line straight down from the anchor atop the first pitch of "

Where Eagles Dare

". It is this orange streak of lichen that defines "Orange Corner". It is likely that this line has at least been toproped, but no information was found about this route.

Small to medium nuts, cams from #2TCU through #1 Camalot, long slings. There is a 2-bolt anchor on top.
