Artifice

This is an old A4 aid line, the bottom 45 feet goes free at 10b and has some spectacular, well protected climbing. Great climb at the LTW for those starting to lead 5.10s at Index. Cool sections of finger crack punctuated by good rests.

A final move onto the face left of the thin crack brings you to the anchor.

Continuing past this point is the original aid line, Artifice, which has never seen a free ascent.

Start as for Batskins and go straight up the finger crack above the small roof from where Batskins traverses hard right

small cams to .75 Save the .75 for the horizontal placement before making moves to the anchors, .2 or similar sized cam is also helpful. slings necessary to extend pieces placed before roof
