Description:

An amazingly bold route. Fifteen pitch slab climb just left of huge diagonal fault. Protection opportunities decrease with height. The 10b crux has a bolt, the 10a pitch below has one possible large cam placement and no bolts on a 50m slab. several pitches of 5.8 lower down have no pro at all. Runouts of up to 30 meters on 10a and 50m on 5.8 ground occur. Routefinding can be difficult as some anchors are not visible from below so you may not know which way to head on the ocean of granite.

An excellent route with excellent views of the valley. The crux is a 5.11 (friction) on pitch 11 I placed a bolt at the crux in 2002. Needs additional protection inbetween pitches. I plan on putting them up in the summer 2006. A great route that was soloed many times with great memories with great friends.
