The Meltdown

Description

This is one hell of a good pitch. Begin in a left facing corner that gets progressively harder. At the end of the crack, clip a high bolt on the face up and right of the crack. Once on the face, the climbing turns from steep finger crack to beautiful 5.11 knobs. Run it out on the knobs until the angle lessens, a couple finger sized cams can be placed here from a secure stance. From this point the protection improves greatly. Continue straight up the steepening wall up a seam, pass two more bolts and a final 5.11 crux before arriving at the top.

Location

route immediately to the right of European Vacation. the 50 foot left facing corner is pretty obvious.

Protection

Doubles to .5 camalot, could place larger but not necessary. 3 draws for the protection bolts.
