The Queen of Shangri La

A gorgeous and sustained line that keeps you engaged from start to finish. A difficult sequence right off the ground that requires technical footwork while following the arcing finger crack. The gear is good but strenuous to place so move quickly through the lower sequence and keep a strong head. Continue up the wide crack until you reach the top where you will find an anchor. This line will make you work for it but will leave you satisfied!

The direct start for The Queen of Shangri La follows the right arcing finger crack. The Princess of Shangri La is an easier variation that follows the left crack.

The line can be spotted in the corner to the right of Cannibalistic Tendencies. Access the base of the climb using the via feratta. There is a bolt for the belayer at the top of the ledge to feel more secure.
