A 2-bolt alternate finish to Ragnarok. Instead of traversing into the finishing corner, stay in the steeps for another punchy boulder problem. The upper v5 adds quality, but not a grade.

Location

Starts on Ragnarok and finishes straight up.

Bolts and fixed draws.

[Hide Comment] I think this is the better route of the two (Ragnarok and Asgard) simply because it keeps you on your toes a bit longer. Ragnarok completely lets up after the stemming rest while Asgard forces you to do one more fun boulder problem to reach the chains. The only way it could be better IMO is if the natural line of climbing and bolts made you avoid that rest before the last bit. That would definitely add to the grade after doing all the cool powerful climbing down low. May 27, 2019
