2. The south end of the First Corridor is in danger of collapsing at the base of Sophie’s Choice. A dam of rocks and soil has been built to divert water away from the eroding soil underneath these huge boulders. Please help keep this system in place until a more permanent solution is implemented.
Description
The route follows an arete (although more an arching pebble festooned bedding plane) as you leave the ground. Route trends to the left of the bolt line onto a small ledge where undercling holds set you up to reach the 4th bolt. This short challenging part is the crux. Once you are up there it can be hard to see sinker pocket holds. Easier for tall people, but not really too hard for those 5'8" and up.
Ends at belay about 75 ft up. You can continue to the top by traversing left to Endymion.
