Sustained climbing up vertical wall. Some moves in small cracks finishing at the top of the arete.
Location
On the upper Krishna Formation, just west of the WWW and the Berlin Wall. Either rappel in from above the Berlin wall or scramble up the gully from the creek, class 3/4. The route itself is high above the creek on an expose buttress. It's between Pranja, the arete, and Vishnu.
Protection
6 bolts and a two bolt anchor. A stick clip for the beginning or 2 inch gear. Gear could be nice for the top to join Pranja without run out.
We went up to do Vishnu and noticed this new route. This route is a junior version of routes on the Red Wall at Devil's Head. Excellent incut holds on a slightly overhanging wall. Great position. The top still has lichen and the holds are a little grainy, but it doesn't distract from this fine route. Excellent find guys. The knife-edge arete to the left looks wild (Pranja?), but there are some scary-looking flakes on it. Anybody done it?
This route and Vishnu are located on an exposed pedestal in one of the most scenic spots in the Boulder Canyon/Dream Canyon area. N Boulder Creek makes a big bend here so you can see up and down Dream Canyon as well as up Boulder Canyon towards the Narrows.
