Eavesdropping

Description

Start the same as Wages of Skin but instead of stepping right, continue up the corner. Then lieback and face climb up some fun flakes, clipping 5 bolts. The final crux section is a series of small roofs near the top that will test your endurance and jamming abilities. However, a solid handjam is never far away, making the climbing easier than it first appears.

3 descent options:

Scramble to the top and walk off to the right.

Rappel to the ground with 2 ropes.

Make 2 single rope rappels using the pitch 1 anchors of Show Me the Monkey.

Protection

A double set of cams to "3 inches and a single set of nuts. It's a long pitch so keep rope drag in mind and extend those pieces under and through the roofs.
