Temporary Like Achilles

Description

The route is a little schizophrenic but the climbing is fun through each of its sections. Step five feet right from Eternal Spring, scramble to the base of the 20-foot  offwidth, climb a 5.8 wide that will protect with a #5 to another ledge (big gear is optional--it's possible to fiddle in a nut in the back part way up). Head up the hand crack that splits the face. About three-quarters of the way up the face it pinches down to almost nothing (purple C3s and micronuts); reach left to a finger crack and climb to the anchors of Eternal Spring. 

Location

Start about five feet right of the obvious Eternal Spring hand crack. 

Protection

#5 for the start (optional). A selection of small to medium nuts. Triples from #00 to 0.5. One each #0.75 to. #2.
