Description
Short dihedral with three bolts located to the left of the upper section of league of dooms second pitch. Follow League of Doom p2 to its last bolt before moving left and into the dihedral. You can place a .4 as you move up before committing to the moves up to the first bolt. From the cushy jug rest at the first bolt, intensely technical face climbing and stemming take you past 2 more solid bolts. The holds are smaller than anything on 500 Roses or any other 5.13 in the refuge.
Chain anchors can be accessed easily to top rope by first climbing Nuclear Combat and then traversing over 4 feet to the POTR anchors.
The first attempt at this dihedral was by Duane Raleigh who called the project Isabelle, and on a ground up attempt he drilled the first bolt while sitting on a hook. The last 2 bolts were put in on rappel before Marcus Garcia claimed the FFA.
