Parallel Passage

Description

Climb up to the "tooth" flake, then step up into the twin-crack groove. Follow groove ~40' (crux) until the angle eases, then ascend up left along a black ramp/slab under a beaked overhang and along the same line for ~20' to the obvious crack/flake system breaks through the short, steep wall above, landing you directly below a two-bolt anchor. Optionally, once you've climbed through the layback and chimney section of the route, do not move left along the beaked overhang. Instead, look for a thin crack leading rightward across the Plumbline block. Follow it right and move up to the fixed anchors of that route.

Location

Same start as Plumb Line, just below the obvious twin crack system to its left.

Protection

Small to medium-large cams (C4s to #3, couple of medium C3s)
