Slip Knot

Contrary to the book, I think this route is one of the best at the cliff, even with the somewhat contrived finish. It's the longest, the starting position off the ledge means the exposure begins right off the deck, and the climbing is fun overall and on decent rock, with several opportunities for gear between bolts along the way. Forcing yourself to stay right at the headwall tower pushes the grade towards the 12 range and does feel unnaturally forced, but going left is still fun anyhow. The second half is overhanging and pretty good. On my first trip up this one I made the mistake of thinking it was all bolts and had a lil adventure psyching myself up for the run-outs!

Center-right of the east face on the upper terrace of Tri-Level, just left of Domestique. Approach via Rupley's, sneaking around the corner near Afternooner

Bolts, SR, few slings
