One Step Beyond

One Step Beyond is a face you can top rope after doing Expect No Mercy.

Start on a couple decent crimps and make a couple challenging moves before making some kind of huge reach/deadpoint 6 feet up. Above, lay away the steep stuff and hope you get to the lip before you pump out.

Bingham's guide gives this a .11a which I felt to be a huge sandbag. The crux moves I did were minimum .11+, after several attempts. Could be harder, or if I missed something, could be easier.

For those looking for and expecting .11a, this is a bomb.

Just right of Expect No Mercy. Two bolt anchor atop that route.
