Location

Mississippi High Step is 30 feet left of Flakes of Wrath.

Protection

Five fixed pieces (bolts and drilled angles) to a two bolt anchor with chains.

[Hide Comment] Very fun route. Technical two bolt slab sequence at the beginning followed by a second small crux mid way up after the crack thins out. Jan 16, 2023

[Hide Comment] Probably on the harder end of 12a for Wall Street. This feels like straight of out Index (of course, there it would be 11b)! 3 days ago
