Description Suggest change

If you like sport movement on micro cams, look no further! 

30 feet of varied right-facing corner climbing leads to a small roof/aspect change. Continue up the flare with strenuous laybacking stopping with kneebars as needed to stack .1s At some point before the anchor you will have to transition into the flare directly, finishing relatively easily and securely.

Super stoked to find this unique line in plain sight for my first IC FA!

Location Suggest change

Just left of Repo Man

Protection Suggest change

Short answer: 5x.1(or black alien), 3x.2, 2x.3, 1x#1-#4, a draw. All BD sizes and Z4s.

Very long answer:
-Before the roof, I placed (in order) a .2, #4, .3, #1, and a #2 with a draw. (The climbing isn't hard so this is a bit much)
-Then a .3 in the apex of the roof (which also helps keep the rope from getting sucked in)
-Over the roof I placed 2x.2, then 4x.1, then a .1/.2 offset (another .1 would work too), then a #3 in deep after transitioning into the flare (a #4 or #5 could be more versatile, however)
  • *A couple more notes on the protection. This crag can get quite sandy post rain and this thin crack is no exception. I personally would not have been super psyched to go for it if I had not recently cleaned the inside of the crack with a very small brush. That said there are some small variations in the crack width that allow you to get your .1s nice and tight!
