Description Suggest change

Named after the James Bond, "Live and Let Die".

Starts from bottom of the formation at a lovely lunch slab on the north side. Moderate climbing past three bolts and a warm up bulge gains the base of the torch where some careful moves past two more bolts and loose to rotten rock are needed to get up and traverse under the roof. Clip the bolt protecting the roof, clear the roof and pass two more bolts to anchors. Rap or lower the line.

This was the first line that attracted AMH to the torch. I scoped it thoroughly on the first day while trying to find a way up the Torch, and decided not to try while rope soloing. HLB worked it with me cleaning over a couple weekends and Geir helped me better establish the line and decide where to put the bolts. Just as well I didn’t try soloing it as the rock took a lot of cleaning and the crux moves to clear the roof are some of the hardest in the area. Is still not entirely clean and needs a bit more work.
