Grand Hysteria

Description

What this route lacks in rock quality, it more than makes up for with character.  Grand Hysteria has some really good climbing.  It's also quite exciting as big falls are possible at the crux.  The rock quality isn't all that bad, just a bit scrappy.  Some traffic will help clean it up.

Climb the first 20 feet of On the Loose to an alcove.  Hand traverse right about 10 feet to the base of a crack.  Climb the sustained crack until is seams out.  Place a couple of funky cams and commit to the crux.  Eventually reach good holds and work right to the base of a left rising crack under an arch. Climb the crack and exit the arch at a detached block (careful here). Navigate your way through the vertical talus to the trees.

Location

Same as for On The Loose.
