Description
Green Tide is a fantastic slab/face climb on the lower west face of the Witch.
Begin just right of the pillar that is home to Gorrilla Warefare on the left, Phospherescent Flow up the arete, and Witch Doctor up the right side. This face has a well-camouflaged bolt line.
The bolts are well placed, but at about two-thirds height there is a 25' run out on fairly difficult 5.10 friction. This culminates with a terrifying friction-dependent mantle move before one can clip the next bolt. From here things feel wonderously easy and well-protected to the anchor, despite more (easier) run outs.
This is a great, exciting line. A 60m rope can get you down with some trickery, a 70m rope makes it easier.
