Description Suggest change

This is an excellent, hard climb up one of the cleanest faces in Flatrock. It starts on the ledge on top of P1 of Drop the Mental (5.9 trad).

Start at the left side of the big ledge. Climb to a small ledge 3 feet above the belay ledge and step right to a bolt (easy but a little creepy, optional hand sized cam here, or pre clip the bolt). The climb weaves up the face from here on interesting moves. There is a 2 bolt anchor with no rap hardware after 65 feet of climbing.

Above here is protectable 5.6 climbing leading eventually to the top of the cliff and another anchor, it is 100 feet to the belay from this anchor.

Location Suggest change

Off Drop the Mental ledge

Protection Suggest change

7 Quickdraws + Anchor. Stick clip or hand size cam to protect getting to the first bolt. Pre-Hanging the draws and pre-clipping the first bolt by rappelling in is a good strategy.
