Description

Start on a ledge, just to the right of a black streak (containing

Back in Black

and below a lighter streak that is immediately right of the black streak. Climb to the third bolt and decide how best to surmount the bulge. There is some looser, crumblier rock to the left of the bulge.

After the bulge follow positive and not-so-positive edges through a steeper section to a small roof (the last bolt is on the edge). After the little roof it is easier climbing to the anchors.

This was originally a four-bolt Aaron Wilkenson project that lay fallow for six or seven years.

The second pitch of

Send For The Man

(5.10a) can be started from the top of this route, if desired.

Location

Immediately right of the two black streaks on the east wall of the gully.

Protection

7 bolts, hangers-and-rings anchors (shared with

Send For The Man

to the right).

Rope drag is an issue if toproping. Bring something to extend the anchors.
