Description
The Man Who Fell to Earth shares its beginning with 'Only the Young Die Brave' at a very narrow crack that widens to wide fists above a shelf. Upon mantling a small ledge, clip the first bolt and traverse up-and-left (crux) across the face to a series of huge knobs (still difficult). Follow these up to a small roof, pull it then go to the anchors.I should mention that I did NOT see separate anchors for this climb, and instead moved right to anchors shared with 'Only the Young Die Brave'
There is also a run-out 5.11c variation that moves up to the third bolt from the left.
If we had 5 stars in our rating system this would have received 4 from me. I thought it was a lot of fun.
Protection
5 bolts to a 2 bolt anchorbring a small piece (~.4) to protect the starting crack.
