Somewhere in Time

Easy face climbing leads to a small overlap and then a section of polished slab that is protected by three bolts that trend up and to the right.  The first bolt is just above the left side of the overlap.  Climb above the third bolt to a right-facing white flake that accepts gear, then over a bulge.  Continue up and right, past two more bolts, to a small right-facing corner/flake system and more gear placements.  Follow the corner/flake system to a shallow ledge and a 2-bolt belay with chains.  The rock on the upper section of the pitch has obvious patches of bright green lichen.

200-foot rappel (two ropes), then walk down the rest of the slab to the base.

Somewhere in Time is the name of Iron Maiden’s 1986 studio album.

This route is on the far left side of Razor Back, and is the first route to the right of the prominent right-leaning crack system that separates Razor Back from Marmot Dome (Marmot-Back Crack).  From the lowest point at the base of the wall, walk up the slab to a ramp that leads up and slightly to the right, then belay from a stance near the top of the ramp that is about 100 feet above the base.  See descriptive photo.

Minimum 5 draws for lead bolts, plus longer draws and long slings for gear
