Description Suggest change

On par with any of the multi-pitch routes at the 82. Long, steep and thoughtful characterize this fun romp up a nice exposed buttress.

Start on the left side of a 70/80 foot buttress/pillar of rock in the center of the Main Cliff. The route is unmistakeable, as bolts mark the way. Pitch one is tricky little number with some balance and faith required at the crux. Finish on a nice ledge with a 2-bolt anchor.

The 2nd pitch climbs steep rock up past an insecure block (step around it gingerly!!) to a series of delicate moves to a nice ledge with a 2-bolt anchor.

Rappel with a single 60-meter rope to the mid-anchor. A 70-meter rope doesn't quite reach the ground but will get you down in one rap if you don't mind a few moves of easy downclimbing.

Location Suggest change

Center of the Main Cliff Wall on the left side of an obvious buttress of rock.

Protection Suggest change

10 QDs, plus some small nuts if you want to avoid the runouts.
