Description

This is almost a variant of Rendezvous With Rama, except that it climbs an almost completely different line, save the start and the end. PITCH 1 (~85'): Begin on Rendezvous With Rama, but do not step right to the tree when you reach the first vegetated ledge. Instead, continue straight on up the wall for another 75 or so feet until you come to a broken ledge above most of the foliage. PITCH 2 (~55'): climb up the wall above, aiming for the narrowest part of the wide, imposing roof above. Be sure to get gear in at the last horizontal, as the crack immediately below the roof is too wide for anything but a #72 Camalot. Find the GOOD handhold at the lip, and reach up to the right-leaning corner crack above (you can get gear in at this point; a red #1 camalot will work) and yard on up. Regain your balance and finish the last moves to the belay ledge above. PITCH 3: Finish on Rendezvous With Rama. The route has plenty of gear-placing opportunities, except for the 10' or so section below the crux roof on pitch 2. Enjoy this climb. - Indy's Online Guide
