Cleaning the Slate

Cleaning the Slate climbs blocky incut features for several bolts before spitting you onto a section of technical vertical climbing. Climb edges in sea of newly uncovered limestone to a crux just below the nice looking dihedral.

Rest up as the last moves in the corner before the chains will still get your attention.    

This route redefined what it means to clean a route for me.  On the upside it did provide a lot of material for the trail at the base of the wall. 

 Enjoy!

Begins just left of and from the same ledge as 'Teased, Squeezed, and Pleased'.

9 bolts to chains with lower-offs.

First bolt is there to protect from falling off of the ledge. The belayer should unclip this as soon as the climber is into draws above.
