Senior Moment

Description

Nice long, direct line up the center of P Wall.  Variety of moves including a sweet finger crack section (ten feet long) which Senior Moment shares with P Wall direct.  This is the only place SM touches another route.  Lichen yes, but it seems not to affect the climbing too much.  We'll see if SM gets enough ascents to clean up.  A leader can lower off the anchor (and set a top rope)  with a 70m rope.

Location

Center of  P Wall.  Walk uphill from Hanging Teeth and its neighbor routes.  As you emerge from under the trees, look for a brown painted hanger 20 feet up or so.  Senior Moment has its own "seam" start equidistant between the starts of Slime and Dine and P Wall Direct.

Protection

Seven bolts (painted brown) plus trad gear. Anchor with hooks. We did this: Bolts 1,2,3,4, #.75 green bd cam, #1 red bd cam, bolt 5, (then in the right side of the "baby tooth") #2 yellow bd cam, #.5 purple bd cam, bolt 6,7 anchor.  As far as distance between pro goes, SM is not "R" rated like its neighbors P Wall Direct and Slime and Dine.  "G" or more likely "PG-13".
