Description
Return to Hell is pumpy, delicate and sustained - a real quality route for the grade. Start on the southeast arete of the Gate Keeper. Work up and right through a series of taxing maneuvers, traversing several times below the bolts. There seems to be no one crux as the climb is very sustained, although I had the most difficulty moving up after the second traverse; the most improbable move is perhaps that final move to gain the anchor. Rappel to descend.
