Description
The second pitch of Kiss the Sky is one of the better trad pitches on Strone Crag IMO, requiring thoughtful climbing on good rock with fine exposure. The first pitch (110’) starts up Firefly. At Firefly's fifth bolt, traverse right (Firefly goes left) for about ten feet and catch a sweet thin-hands crack to a small footstance and belay from a single bolt and cams. (5.6). A worthy variation of the first pitch is to do Brad’s Bane past its last bolt to about 10’ below Brunch Ledge, where a downward traverse around the corner to the right can reach the first Kiss the Sky belay; kinda tricky to piece together and to prevent undue rope drag (many long runners needed) but it makes for a pretty cool two-pitch 5.10- outing.
The money pitch (120’) traverses right and up under a roof band until possible to step right onto the face and climb up to a bolt just above a small roof. After some cruxy moves to gain the next bolt, follow seams with techy pro to another bolt and easier ground. Finish by diagonalling right and up (avoiding the unappealing lichen-covered rock to the left) to join the anchors shared by Starstruck, Mad Calf Disease, and Old Habits Die Hard.
