Description Suggest change

Imagine a plumb line straight down from the anchor atop the first pitch of "Where Eagles Dare". It is this orange streak of lichen that defines "Orange Corner". It is likely that this line has at least been toproped, but no information was found about this route.

Begin by climbing the first 40 feet of unprotected slab on "Where Eagles Dare", but veer right on thin edges to approach the steep corner. Good gear can be placed before making a 10-foot rightward traverse underneath an overhang. The crux involves delicate footwork and scary moves traversing back left into the corner where a welcome jug exists. Climb up the corner to its top where more bomber gear can be placed (whew!). This is where "Eagles Are People Too," 10d, downclimbs a move and traverses the steep wall out right. Make a fun mantel move and wander up another 15 feet of easy ground to a 2-bolt anchor.

Protection Suggest change

Small to medium nuts, cams from #2TCU through #1 Camalot, long slings. There is a 2-bolt anchor on top.
