Description Apart from the dank first pitch, this is a really good route and nice warm-up for the Possessed to the right. Start up a greenish ramp angling left to a good belay-fair pro 5.9+
P2 Power over a bulge on rapidly widening finger locks to a hand crack and nice belay ledge-5.11.
The direct start is a tough and slimey 5.12- rarely done.
Location 50' left of the Possessed.
Protection wires to 3"- should be a fixed anchor at the top

| This is a good route, but the fixed anchor at the top is in terrible shape. |

| The direct start is heinously difficult. Bring a looooong stickclip unless you know can onsight 5.12 technical face.
P.s. This start is now pretty clean...clean enough for climbing, at least. |

| It's not too bad to traverse over to the shiny two-bolt anchor for the Possessed and thus avoid the nasty fixed anchor entirely. |

| This is a great route, but getting off the ground can leave folks scratching thier heads. The corner start is the way to go, but there is no pro - so try this, hang a draw on the Possessed's first bolt (hard to see from the ground but easy to get to), down climb and use it as a TR for gettin up to the belay ledge. Belay or pull the rope through the draw and keep going. Clean the draw on the way down after traverseing to the Possessed's good two bolt anchor.
This is probably the main reason no one has bothered to fix up that anchor, it's frequently just not used. |

| My friend had etriers in his pack so we freed up to the first bolt (v2?) on the direct start then A0'd the last two bolts to the ledge (that face is thiin). Mixes it up and goes quick. 2nd pitch is sweet! |

| hasan, yeah it's good gear once you get to the crack, but getting to it is probably more like R. That leaning corner has no gear and is dirty Cathedral 5.9.
I think that was my first 5.11 lead! Nice choice.......dumbass. |
