Description

Find a way up the steep buttress at the bottom of the route. Starting left is easier but longer. Any way up the starting headwall is about 5.8. Once above the lower difficulties, climb up to the steep corner (5.4). Ascend the corner (5.7). As you near the top, choose to stay on your course, or step left onto the face and climb cracks there. Both are 5.8. Scramble over boulders to the anchor (5.2). This route might warrant 2 stars after cleaning.

Location

Walk to Dude’s Throne, then continue south to Quarantine Wall. Squeeze through the notch formed by a large boulder and the wall. Emerge from the other side of the notch at the base of

Quarantine Machine

and Pulmonary Pain.

Protection

A standard rack up to #3s with a few smaller cams and nuts will suffice for all routes on Quarantine Wall, the smaller subdivision of Dude’s Throne that contains

Social Distancing

and those to its right.
