Left Center High Face

Lots of thoughtful moves.

Start on left half of lowest continuous rock just above Mid-Level Ledge, about 7 ft left of two-bolt anchor with carabiners, or 15-20 ft left of the Shady Bush. Aim for left side of high bush up at top of cliff, roughly straight up toward two-bolt anchor (or a bit left). Harder finish if stay left of (and avoid using) thin crack going up to anchor.

warning

: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

FA first ascent? The listing of a Top-Rope first ascent does not imply that top-roping is the "appropriate" style for this route. If some party bolts this route and leads it and supplies a careful description of the size and metal-composition of the bolts and hangers - (by posting an Improve This Page or a Comment below) -- they wlll be given first-rank FA on this page. Also they can supply their own name for this climb (which is why currently this route has a "generic" name, awaiting installation of hardware).

Fixed protection only top anchor. No intermediate bolts for leading as of 2018.

Protection for Trad leading is unknown, and likely inadequate.

Top anchor is  two-bolts-connected-by-chain with rappel ring.

. . (bolts + upper hanger are 304 Stainless steel 3/8-inch x 2.75-inch. Lower hanger + rappel ring + chain + quick-links are Plated steel. Installed 2018).

Top-Roping: For ideas about how to get access to set up top anchor, see Description page for Moynier sector.

note: The two anchor bolts are vertically offset, so cannot just connect two quickdraws for lower-off or top-rope as many American sport climbers are accustomed. Consider bringing a sling or climbing accessory cord with one or two carabiners or quick-links.
