Raison d'Être

Raison d'Être is another sort of Gritstone style route that utilizes marginal gear through the face, just right of the big chimney. Jump up to a jug rail to start, and then make some fun moves to good holds. Go up the face and into a small crack where you place some tricky gear, and the climbing gets a little more technical. After you mantel onto a ledge two thirds of the way up, the climbing gets significantly easier.

This route was sent as a head-point climb with moves and gear placements rehearsed on toprope before the lead.

Middle of the Falls Wall.

I placed a small threaded nut, one offset nut, and a C3. There may be other options for a trad wizard.
