Description
This was the first route bolted at the Garden Cliffs. It took many years to see a send, partially because it is a drainage line, and almost always soaking wet. It climbs a beautiful black arete feature.
Starts in a small hueco at first bolt. "Chimeras" cuts left, "Heirloom" cuts right to the arete.
Pull a couple tough moves to get out of the hueco, then navigate to the arete where some fun compression style climbing begins.
The compression ends quickly at the doubled up 3rd bolt, where you encounter a power move to an OK jug.
Here you'll be faced with a sloper ledge and a few moves I considered to be the most difficult to read, and possibly the redpoint crux.
The bolt line splits at this point. "P.R.O.M." follows easy terrain on the right for the final few bolts. "Heirloom LEFT" cuts left, looks very blank, and is still a project. These rusted bolts still need replacement.
