Description
I was asked about this variation the other day, so I am adding this for the benefit of others. This is not an independent line but merely a combination of P2 of Life After James, and P2 of Telegraph Road. The purpose of this climb is to toprope the crux pitch of Telegraph Road (or the whole thing) if desired. It is a a lot of fun, if you have some time to kill, and is a direct line.
Climb past the crimpy P2 crux of Life After James 10+/11- (height-dependent) clipping the first three bolts. Keep climbing in a straight line to join Telegraph Road just past the crux. This is a little run out but moderate. The bolt on Telegraph Road is visible from the belay but can be concealed a little bit when doing this variation. Just remember where it is to avoid fretting.
Finish with the final four bolts of Telegraph Road. For me, the crux is the last 15 feet which get your attention at 5.10.
From the anchor, you can rap to either the belay on Life After James or the P1 anchors of Telegraph Road. This sets up a good TR.
