Description

EDIT (for a logical pitch break-down):

P1. Climb

Billy

, but after the second overlap around mid-way, sneak right to belay at

Wild Child's

P1 anchors. 11b.

P2. Use the first clip of

Wild Child

starting P2, then continue the rest of the Billy pitch, but continue up and left, with the first 3 bolts of Gneiss Route up to the Rocketman ledge. 12a.

P3. Climb out the huge Rocketman roof, 8 bolts. There is a brief move of 5.11 around bolt 3, and the crux is pulling over the biggest part of the roof at bolt 7 (5.12c). Belay at airy stance above the roof. 12c.

P4. Cruise past 4 bolts on the Northeast arete to Surette Ledge. 5.7.

Descent: From Surette, rap 65' to the roof lip and 200' to the ground (BIG AIR!).

Protection

12 draws/slings of various lengths. 2 60m ropes for rap.

If linking all of

Billy

and part of

Gneiss Route

in one pitch, you will need about 20 draws/slings.
