Description
Sophie's Revenge has varied climbing on bullet stone with different moves than your typical Unaweep, flared, slopers jams.
Pitch 1: start at the left-facing dihedral with some techy bulges to a bit of a funky offwidth/wider section before entering the "cave." Climb into the back, and traverse out (facing whichever way suits your fancy), before making some exposed moves to gain the bulge arete. It's all there! Follow the crack to a roof, and traverse right to bolted anchors.
Pitch 2: head directly up from the belay through a right-facing, low angle, gully-type rock. Bust left on to the face. Hit the "barrel roll" hands splitter, following the
left-leaning crack to a bolted belay.
Descent: do 2 single rope raps.
Location
It is 100 feet up the approach gully from
