Description
Who knew this little gem was hiding at the end of X-Wall? A bit of a choose your own adventure. Three start options, two middle options, and three finish options. The direct start (5.10+) is on a white streak just left of Sport Route #1. Tricky and committing starting moves lead up to easier and more textured ground. Traversing in from the crack on the left (bring a hand-sized cam), or from the right on Sport Route are both easier. Move directly up to the top of the pillar feature. Climbing to the right of the pillar in the wide water groove is tougher, and will increase the lead fear factor. Make harder, but really fun moves to the jug below the roof. Decide on one of three finishes:1. Traverse right to end on Sport Route #12. Plug an optional hand-sized piece out left from an awkward, but secure stance, find the hidden jug, and work out the traverse to the flared crack (hard if wet)3. Lower from the bolt under the roof and swing slightly left onto the divots below the flared crack (fun, easy, and will bypass wet streaks after a rain)An extendable sling is recommended for all finishes. If going left, move up through an ocean of possibility and lichen to the anchors and chains.
Location
Starts just uphill and to the left of Sport Route #1.
Protection
7 bolts. 1-2 hand-sized cams depending on your chosen path.
