Interstellar Overdrive

FA Berk brothers? bolted line: Ken Trout and Guy Lords, 1991

Description

Interstellar Overdrive starts in the corner system immediately left of

Pseudo Bullet

. A very tight and strenuous corner relents to fine face climbing with some exposure. This line was originally done on RPs with pins in the horizontal seams above, and one of those pins remains today. The climbing on Interstellar Overdrive was great, the stone excellent, and the pro as good as it gets. The old pin above seems solid; however, replacement with a 3/8" stainless steel bolt would ensure the longevity of this clip. This route was a gas, just don't give up the fight in the corner. Help is just-a-reach-away, and the corner does have some useful Gaston edges that crop up just when the feet seem the worse. If this route had been listed at 5.11c or d, I would have believed it.

Protection

QD only and something for the double bolt anchor at the top.
