Description
Approach by climbing the first 4 pitches of empress to a corner with an old ring piton 20’ up. This is Victoria 5.6+. Pornucopia climbs direct friction up the slab to the right of victoria near the arete that forms the corner before merging with pringles 5.7x, belay where available and top out as desired on any other full length route, FA finished on thanksgiving direct friction.
Small crimps, sketchy smears, occasional edge to find reprise, sustained friction smearing and a stout crux. complete exposure on that bulge on the slab make this route worthwhile if you are bored of the easy friction and want a more intense pitch. FA was done onsite free solo, and that is how I imagine any repetitions would go as well. This is completely dry when other lines on this side of the slab are seeping, FA was done to avoid wet rock.
There is no protection but there is a spot to belay below and above.
