Kiss the Sky

The second pitch of

Kiss the Sky

is one of the better trad pitches on Strone Crag IMO, requiring thoughtful and careful climbing on good rock with fine exposure. The first pitch (110’') starts up

Firefly

. At

Firefly's

fifth bolt, traverse right (

Firefly

goes left) for about ten feet and catch a sweet crack to a small footstance and belay from a single bolt and cams. (5.6).

The money pitch (120’') traverses right and up under a roof band until possible to step right onto the face and climb up to a bolt just above a small roof. Bust up to the next bolt, then follow a seam system on the left and head toward a bolt protecting moves to easier ground. Work up and slightly right to join the anchors shared by

Starstruck

,

Mad Calf Disease

, and

Old Habits Die Hard

. Don't pass up any pro between the second and last bolt, or you might get yourself a runout.

Follow the approach for

Starstruck

and

Firefly

. For the descent, see either the

Mad Calf

or

Starstruck

page.

Take along micronuts, microcams, and other gear to 2”.
