Leap of Faith

This route climbs a cool left-facing edge in the middle of the buttress. The rock here is solid and varied. The name comes from a move at the top of the left-facing edge that requires a large wingspan (if you're tall) or a leap straight rightwards to a jug (beware of flappers!).

From the corner at the right side of the face, move up the face (V2) to a horizontal at the base of the distinct left-facing edge. Go up the edge to its top, and a decent shake on the left. Make the leap to the right and better holds. The climbing becomes overhanging here. Go up some good jugs, then up past a nipple to a pinch, and a gaston right to the anchor.

You can set up a TR by leading "Coming of Age" (5.10b) to the left.

The route is located on the only clean-bottom-to-top, narrow shield of rock on the right end of the cliff, left of the ice route Rites of Passage, and just left of a large square cave 25' up. Begin on the right side of the buttress just left of a wet corner.

Bolts, fixed anchor.
