Description

Call in the

Young Guns

....

Start on cool belay ledge, after scrambling a short section of white quartz. A bolt on either end of the ledge intended for a dogline.

Open with an elegant traversing sequence for the first three bolts (12-) and then cruise up a ledgy ramp to the start of the ceiling. 6 draws are hanging from this 35 foot overhang. I count about 3-4 hard cruxes, with the hardest part being a burly contorted boulder-problem getting established into the ceiling. You can expect powerful, dynamic, long moves all the way to the chains. The movement on it is awesome. The stone is incredible.

EDIT:

route was freed by Daniel Woods, 3/20/12, 5.14c/d

, and dubbed "Mourning Glory".

Enjoy and good luck.

Location

You can't miss it once you are up there.

Scramble 4th class for about 15 feet up a quartz-step to the belay ledge.

Protection

11 bolts and chains anchor.

Currently I have fixed draws on all but the first one.
