Operation Condor

Description

Operation Condor is a fun route leading up to the big roof at the top of the third pitch of Kung Fu Fighter. The two linked up would make a solid and varied bit of cragging.

P1: Go up the blocky left facing corner for fifty or so feet. A few thin-to-wide hands pieces protects this short pitch. 5.8

P2:Face climb up and left on thin plates for 11 bolts.

P3: Step left off the belay and latch a hold right on the arete. From there, bust up and left into a finger crack that leads up to the edge of the Kung Fu Fighter roof. Continue up through the roof to the third pitch Kung Fu Fighter anchor.

Location

Same approach as Kung Fu fighter (look for the splitter crack below a massive roof), just climb the crack to your right instead of heading up left for KFF.

Descent: Rap the route with a single 60m. Anchors have been equipped with painted chain. Rappelling P2, you have to do a bit of a pendulum at the bottom, stopper knots are recommended on that rappel.

Protection

Doubles from red C3 to blue camalot. One BD #4. Quickdraws and slings. One Rope.
