Anthill/Redguard Traverse

FA unknown
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

From the belay in the location section, follow the maroon band through a bulge with good holds. Continue following the maroon band after the bulge. Your belayer can't see you, but the climbing is easy. Near the end of the traverse, there is a small roof, which is the crux. There is acceptable pro below and above the roof. Negotiate a slick slabby section and join

Redguard

. Climb

Redguard

20 feet or so to the last belay station with a pin.

I don't know if this is an FA or a first recorded ascent. The line is not in the guidebook, and there was no evidence of the route being climbed. It does have a photogenic location and might be interesting if you've already climbed everything else.

Location

I think the 4th pitch of

Anthill Direct

crosses a large ramp. This ramp is located above the 5.6 R section. Follow this ramp left to its end. There is an obvious, large, flat spot. Belay here.

Protection

A small selection of small to medium cams.
