Description

Location

From the Atlantis Parking lot the upper half of the route is plainly and resplendently in view. Head down the trail to the creekbed. Instead of heading left into the slot canyon, cross the creekbed and up to the base of the slab with the twin 40ft 5.7s. (approach is 10 minutes max) Start on the left one, Mondo Freako. Theoretically you could start on the one on the right but we haven't cleaned above that so don't climb it unless you're prepared for loose conditions.

Protection

Protection: Bolts, Pitons, chains

P1: 5 draws plus your anchor gear. The final 25 feet is 5.easy so we didn't waste bolts. If you're scared, bring a set of stoppers and an extra draw.

P2: 9 draws, anchor gear

P3: 4 draws, again a set of stoppers and an extra draw or two if the 5.easy runout on top scares you.
