The Big So-So

Description

Starts off steep with adult leadouts to a intermediate anchor below the bulge: 5.8.

Above the anchor, up to the bulge and perform a stout deadpoint to a good pocket, then work left along the bulge on thin face (crux), then up to anchor.

Alternatively, if you don't like the looks of the deadpoint, you can move right along the crack below the bulge onto the upper Banish Misfortune and finish out that way (10a). Recommend a couple of single length runners to minimize rope drag on this option.

Location

This route is not in the book but is just next downhill from Banish Misfortune and next uphill from The Grand Adventure.

Protection

bolts...12 should do.
