Rising Desperation

FA Chuck Buzzard & Scott Smith, 9-86
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Follows a chunky broken crack. Cruise up the first jugs until you come to an overhanging block. Pro is thin and reachy to place. Pull the cruxy move and step up to the bomber jug up high. Move left onto the ledge then continue up an easier but slightly runout section. Once you get to the ledge you can make a tenuous leftward traverse to the Scott Free anchor or (recommended) step right and punch it through the overhanging hand crack.

Location

Left side of the Main Wall, in an obvious mini-amphitheater. It's the obvious jagged crack on the right side.

Protection

Gear to 1.5" including offset nuts if you finish at Scott Free, cams from 2-3" for the extension.
