Description

The obscure tour continues. Are you bored? Are you looking for another route to touch virgin-to-you rock in this crag paradise? "This route climbs the bulge and crack just to the right of P1 of

Neon Lights

" according to Rossiter's guide. Find this, um, er, ah, well, different pitch of rock high on the west side of the Bastille between

Neon Lights

' and

Voodoo's

first pitches.

I doubt this one sees Bastille-like action or even pitch one of

Neon Lights

traffic. This has scaly rock, a tough start, a high step, and a layback, for an appetizer. It gives you loads of respect for those who went before you. Then angle right towards an inviting roof. The sort-of-pockets in the roof above feels stiff for 5.9 and seems more like mortal-5.10b. Whew, give me a moment to catch my breath. Oh yeah, and there isn't much pro for this bit. Or, maybe Jim was smarter and didn't go this way. Continue on above with less-challenging terrain to the walk-off ledge, and don't knock any of those stacked blocks over near the top, please.

A TR might be less bold but possibly wiser.

Protection

It is probably best to TR, or bring a standard Eldo rack.
