Paper Tiger
Description
Next door to the infamous Iron Lingerie is this harder but much less threatening route. Begin as for Iron, then branch right at the second bolt. Finesse through the nasty thin crimps on the 12+ crux to a good rest. Fire the 5.13 crux followed by pumpy climbing and an 11+ crux before reaching the no hands ledge/horn. A final 12- crux and 50 more feet of 5.10+ gets you to the anchor. Originally started by Shaffer, we pushed this much further around 2016/17 but were stopped at a hard boulder problem. Revisiting 4 years later, we re-routed avoiding that crux and took it to the top.
Location
The tall, steep, black streaks on the south side of Outer Outlet. Immediately right of Iron Lingerie.
Protection
15 bolts (Red c3 or something similar to reach the first bolt.....or a stick clip) extend draws on bolts #2, 5, 9, 11 Bolted anchor on top
