Jon St John pulls the roof on Desperado (5.9) at S...


Description 

This is a fantastic 5.9! Climb up the face to reach the overhang and then traverse Right to reach a left facing corner (crux). Follow the corner to a large ledge. The traverse to the right is the business and coolest part of the climb. Well protected and exciting!


Location 

Find a fairly obvious overhang and left facing corner system as you walk uphill from Great Imposter.


Protection 

Hands size gear and smaller.

Great climb. Exciting moves punctuated by great rests. It doesn't look that pretty from below, but it's a whole lot of fun.
