Last of a Dying Breed

Description

This route begins as for "

The Hangman

". It climbs the runout and scary crux of that route but then diverges out directly above (rather than left into the easier climbing of

The Hangman

) into the obvious, blank face above. Climb the unprotected, perfect edges on the face on the more than vertical headwall culminating with a big move to a mega-jug at the lip.

This route was put up as a headpoint, and keeping with the spirit of Eldo, no bolts or fixed gear were implemented. It was climbed after toprope rehearsal. The rock is clean and nearly perfect. A slip from the finishing jug will result in a groundfall.

Location

This shares the start of

The Hangman

. It is visible from

Wind Ridge

. It climbs the lichen face.

Protection

A 0.3 blue and yellow micro BD. That's it.
