Delusions of Adequacy

Description

Here's another gem sitting hidden right next to the Index Classic "Agent Orange".  Balancey traversing moves, protected by small cams are followed by a bolt protected slopey crux mantle.  Then easy wide crack is topped off with a second, thought-provoking crux to finish.  Finger pockets appear every time you need it, but might be farther apart than you like.  This climb can be previewed/TR'd by climbing Corner Flash and scrambling to the anchor.  Easier than Agent Orange, it's a good transition climb as one scales the grades on the Inner Walls.

The climb is in the shade most of the time.

There is a direct variation start and finish that looks doable, but really hard, that is open to anyone interested in cleaning and leading it.

Location

This climb starts just below Agent Orange Arrette and continues parallel to it.

Protection

You'll want a #3, #4, 2 draws, and a good variety of small cams up to .4 . Whether natural or installed, the pro is generous. No reason to be scared on this one.
