Battle of Evermore

Start at the first anchors of

Across Enemy Lines

. We shifted the belay about 10 feet left to prevent lateral pull on the lower pieces of gear. Head up the small seam then start the rising traverse. I think you travel equally up as you do sideways. We ended up at a set of anchors before the pitch heads straight up. We didn't do the whole thing as the upper section didn't look all that fun. Rap the route. The route is harder than it looks, it is a bit sustained, and the gear is a little difficult to place, but it is a blast.

See the topo on the main page for Combat Rock. We cut a little lower than the topo says, the finger crack at the end of the traverse looked harder than 5.10.
