Description Suggest change

Momentary Relapse starts on top of a large ledge that is 15' off the deck and climbs up a steep face (11a) that is protected by three bolts. Climbing past the bolts is Cecret Lake climbing at its best, although sadly short. Try to avoid using the holds on the arete to the left or the grungy corner to the right. Finish the face via a mantle to a ledge.

At the ledge step right and proceed up the arete using cams in horizontals for protection. As you start up the arete it is possible to place gear in the grungy corner to the right. Continue up the arete trending slightly left as it broadens, ending at anchors that are shared with Just Say No.

Though heavily cleaned there is still come grunge on the route.

Location Suggest change

This route is the seventh route on the wall (from right to left) approximately 20 feet from the base of a ramp.

Protection Suggest change

Three draws for the lower face and TCUs and cams from 1/4" to 2" for the arete.

Note - this route now shares the rap anchors with Just Say No and does not utilize the anchors installed in 2005 (now removed) which the FA party thought were for scoping out a route on the ramp that is under them.
