Description
This route is a variation on the 5.8 trad line Bud Collins that splits right into a thin, left-facing corner after about 30'. The NCCC guide calls it 5.11c/d, but I had a hard time finding any moves that tough, not to say it was easy...clearly it hasn't been climbed in a while and was dirty, crumbly, and had some committing face climbing with gear well below your feet. It felt like the crux was well-protected however.
The NCCC guide, along with the eye test, didn't show any anchors for lowering, I think this route is supposed to be a walkoff. I ended up doing a wonky traverse to the anchors above
High Steppin'
. A 70m rope was necessary to toprope/lower from these anchors.
Location
It is on the left side of the south face, on the main slabby part of the wall before all the corners start further left.
Protection
A standard rack.
