Description Suggest change

Eds. This original post was deleted by the submitter. See info below.

Per Joe Collins: Freeline does the boulder problem start of Surf's Up, continues up the seam of Fraid line, then traverses right at the old bolt into the crux finish of The Evictor. I have heard the grade reported as 13a or 13b.

Per Steve Levin: "Freeline" is the complete first pitch of the original aid route done here by Ron Olevsky in the early 1970s (A3 crux right off the ground back then). It has been reported as both the "Olevsky Route" and "Aid Line".

The first reported free ascent of pitch one was by Justen Sjong in early 2000 (pitch two was freed by Chris Reveley in the 1970s). The crux is still the first 15 feet, then a long 5.12 section to the bolt, then right into the crux of what is now The Evictor.

Location Suggest change

It is to the left of The Evictor & Center Route.

Protection Suggest change

Per Eric Stern: quickdraws/slings for the opening boulder problem, then your standard assortment of small to medium cams and nuts. There is a bolted anchor shared with Center Route.
