Wall Flower/Welcome link-up.

This variation combines the best parts of the two climbs (as well as avoiding the awkward parts of both), for a really fun route mix-up! Bring 2 long/extra-long slings to reduce rope drag at the transition.

Climb the first section of "Wall Flower", clipping the first 5 bolts. Clip the 5th bolt with a long sling, then traverse left and up 10 feet on easy ground to gain the 6th bolt of "Welcome to the Gorge". Clip another long sling on this and continue up "Welcome to the Gorge" to the anchors.

Another option is to clip the "Welcome to the Gorge" anchors with a (longish) draw, then continue up past one more bolt to the anchors of "Sweet and Sour" (11 bolts total).

Start in the steep dihedral to the right of "Welcome to the Gorge"

9 bolts, Mussy Hooks; to "Sweet and Sour" anchors: 11 bolts, Mussy Hooks.
