Tabula Rasa

Description

This is a good route with a striking contrast of styles.

Start in the hands splitter on the right side of the face. When the crack runs out, move into a flake undercling (slightly flexy), clip the first bolt, and launch into superb, technical, and abrasive face climbing above. The climbing gradually builds to a crux at the end characterized by a big lock-off to a poor hold just before reaching the ledge two thirds of the way up the face.

Note: The anchors of this climb can be reached to set up a top-rope by building an anchor off of the red hangers atop the feature and rappelling down to the midway ledge.

For those looking for a challenge, an extension/second pitch (Tabulae Rasae) may be possible. This potential extension begins with desperate laybacking up the right side arete capped by a burly boulder problem that brings you back onto the face and up a thin seam to the top. This extension is not bolted but can be top-roped by building an anchor off of the aforementioned red hangers atop the feature. Probably 5.13. Get after it!

Location

Directly to the right of Finger Fury and to the left of the fallen slab.

Protection

Two #1's and #2's, 2 bolts and rap ring anchors.
