Amber Waves of Pain

Description

From the GT ledge, start from the left side of a huge blocky pinnacle.

Description with help from Pawel: Aim towards a deeply notched overhang that is over a steep, reddish face. Start by working up through some steep face moves. Above the face, move past the first overhang (crux) to a good stance. After this, pass the next overhang by moving right, up in to the notch, over, and back left into the open book to the top.

In summary: it's a steep pumpy then thin face, and two overhangs with really good rests in between.

Descent: Three rappels from bolted anchors over No Glow will get you to the ground with a single rope.

Location

This route was originally a variation to the third pitch of Android. To access it, go up first pitch of a nearby route, such as Andrew, Erect Direction, Three Vultures, or No Glow.

Protection

Well protected, some scary face moves off the GT ledge.
