Description

The Altruist has fantastic crimping and powerful movement on a beautiful, sustained, and seemingly blank section of wall in the middle of the Tan Corridor. Some bouldery 12- climbing gets you past the first two bolts and into the crux as you climb towards the third bolt and execute a 13- sequence to get to a good clipping stance. From there, continue the fight on crimps as you make your way past the next bolt to gain better holds, and cruise up left at mid-height for an easier finish on No Opportunity Missed. You can also go right at the 4th bolt and finish on Welcome to Staunton.
