Barbed For Your Pleasure

Sometimes I avoid routes at Vantage because they just don't look good. Well this has a adventurous alpine feel if you want to do something crappy. You can even choose to climb all 3 cracks by doing a traverse to the right and finish on the 7 Virgins chimney anchor.

Much like other off width cracks at Vantage you can do mostly face climbing.

This would be better if cleaned.

This is in the middle of a little alcove between Steel Pulse on the right and Never Forget your Friends on the left. There is a 5.8 crack to the left of it that is a major pigeon condo to be avoided and another crack on the right before Steel Pulse.

Single rack to #5, or extra #4, #5. If you top out there is no anchor, and not great gear options.

There is a anchor on a pedestal above the chimney behind Steel Pulse.
