Far Side's Trad Route

FA unknown
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

There are two starts to this route: begin climbing the overhanging fist crack on tan rock or begin a little to the right on a prominent black bulge in the rock.

Once you are up by the 2 parallel hand cracks, you'll begin to veer up and to the right. The crack tapers more and more the higher you go until the very top where you can grab an excellent knife edge that will lead you the last several feet to the anchors.

Attention: there are no rings on the anchors yet, just hangers. I rapped off the hangers without damaging my rope, but that may not be a risk you want to take.

Location

This is between

El Lagarto

and

Wedgie

on a face to the left of a larger corner. It is the 5th route from the left on the ledge.

Protection

A standard rack up to #4 if you do the overhanging start.

A standard rack up to #2 if you do the soft start to the right.
