All Men Are Mortal

Description

Four well-spaced bolts of easy climbing lead to a roof (crux) requiring powerful pulls on small holds if one is to surmount. Weird technical face climbing on broken crimps left of the bolts are next. Now up and back right to another roof where another series of powerful and (by now) pumping edges guard a difficult clip. Try to sneak out a good shake out above, as the climbing is sustained and a bit cryptic till the chains. A good endurance route at the grade- feels long for AF standards. The bolting style/placements date this route (along with the SMC hangers. (late 1980's?)

Location

The best approach for this route is to beat up the scree slope to the Shame Wall (behind, but to the right of the outhouse), and when you reach the Shame wall, trend down hill (left) 50 feet or so to a small ledge area above a steep vegetated slope. Belay here- there are 3 routes and All Men Are Mortal is the middle line. Watch the potential ground fall getting to the second bolt.

Protection

9 Bolts all the way (a bit spaced). Anchors at top.
