Description 

  • *This route is 110' long, use a 70m rope or two ropes to get back down, even then you need to watch the ends carefully.

Climb the center route up the very obvious left-facing dihedral, eventually climbing up and left past a bolt to a ledge. From the ledge run it out on large holds up and slightly right to a small seam with gear, generally staying left of the arete and below the scoop/groove higher on the route. Good holds and intermittent gear lead into the upper groove section with very cool formations. Exit right to the chains after the final scoop. Two bolts for anchors with chains and lowering biners are shared with Global Warming.

One of the best 5.11 pitches in the Sandias.
