Lilies of the Valley

This has all trad pro. I was unable to uncover any historical references to the line of discontinuous cracks located right of the thoroughly documented

Gilded Lily

trad and sport lines, so I gave it a go. It starts right of the low roof, heading up using horizontal cracks with small pro. I felt the crux was the red head wall coming up directly under the upper roof, then traversing left before I could place decent pro. I gained the upper left dihedral by using a lower, right, diagonal crack. At the top of the flake, I exited left to the anchor. Very fun. I know I got my money’s worth as my palms are sweating just typing about it! I am including a photo showing both

Gilded Lily

and Lilies of the Valley. Keep in mind the rope feeds through the Soloist and rope drag is not a factor so the sharp angles in the rope show most of the pro placements.
