Finger of Fate Free

A few people have asked me to add this separately from the Aid climb of the finger.

P1: straightforward 5.11

P2: tricky off the start, sustained. Place pro after you use the pin scars otherwise it will be much harder 5.12 or E6.

P3: tricky off the belay as well,sustained 5.12 or E6  (P2, P3 and P8 are the most sustained climbing)

P4: The roof- a good fingerlock between the fixed tricams leads to a hard mantle. Easy climbing follows with poor pro. 5.12 E5

P5: Flaring chimney that you can protect with a #4 5.10

P6: Traverse around the duck 5.3

P7: Pinscar boulder problem in the mud seam leads to easy climbing, then a tricky mantle. Good pro the entire pitch 12d (the BP felt V6-7 to us)

P8: Strange blobs lead to a few hard moves on slopers and bad feet. Continue left in the crack to good rock. 5.12+

Good updated bolts and exposure make this pitch one of the best

P9: Scramble to the summit 5.4

After working sundevil chimney I realized the rock on finger of fate is actually pretty dang solid with a light dusking of choss or sand on top.
