Description
This is an Incredible and sustained free climb. Very technical climbing, from patina crimping, to tech-9 seam navigation. Nik, Dave and I spent two summers out at Mount Hooker working on this route, employing a variety of techniques to find the free line- aid climbing endless beak seams, equipping free variations ground-up off hooks and stances, and hours spent working sequences on mini-traxion. The first 5 pitches actually follow an original attempt of the wall, joining Sendero Luminoso at the base of the crux pitch, which we dubbed the "A3 Beauty." From here, the route takes a bee-line to the top of the wall, following an immaculate seam through the otherwise blank shield of rock.
