Description

This is a fun route as long as you don't fall well into the second pitch.

P1: Easily protected and easy crack. When it dies out, head R. You can protect this traverse with the smallest Alien. Then, set an anchor below the R-facing dihedral. About 80 feet.

P2: 40 feet of fun climbing in the dihedral, then about 70 feet of very easy climbing -- with absolutely NO PRO -- to the roof. You can put pro beneath the roof (cams #1 and up), but once you're over it you've got another 30 feet of no pro, with one 5.7 move above the roof.

Bottom line: a fun route with the potential of a 140' fall.

Location

Follow the crack that is between the 2 bolts of

Zendance

on your left and the R-slanting crack of

Arch Rock Route

on your right. The route goes up the crack, goes hard R for 20 feet, then up the R-facing dihedral. Then, it's about 70 feet of NO PRO to the roof.

Descend to R, following trail.

Protection

Standard rack, with larger cams to protect roof.
