Description

Fallen Hero 10d.First pitch is a 4 star classic with a killer roof section very different from the usual Leap roof problem, and continuous tricky shallow corner/layback. Went in around 9:11:2001, hence the name. Second pitch is harder and  2 star goes at 12a. A blank right leaning dihedral that goes up to the Bookmark ledge to a chain anchor that can be accessed from that ledge.

Gear to Camelot 1. Blue TCU before 1st bolt. RP for top.  Mostly small medium cams/nuts. 4 bolts. 60 m rope for prefect lower off from P1

Can TR with a little work. P2 anchor on Bookmark main ledge. Easy chain anchor rap to P1 anchor to set up TR

Note: I would like to add 2 bolts to P1 should anyone have the where withal get in touch

 


Location

Right of Bookmark by about 40 feet
