Like a Shadow in the Night

 Like a shadow in the Night is a gem which climbs the dark and varied system right of Nycto.

Rappel straight down the Nyctophiliac gully to a pillar top belay. #.3- #.5 are handy. Nyctophiliac starts off the climber's left side of the pillar, while Like a shadow in the Night starts off on the right side of the pillar.

Work your way past 5.9 hand cracks to chimney roof at 35'. As you work out the little roof, the climbing and the gear get more thoughtful. You will work past some welded blocks and 5.10- climbing to a good shake at a conspicuous white jug on the left, just before the steep upper half of the route.

From this point, 5.11- climbing will lead you into the first of several black bouldery cruxes with good gear. If you can crank through the darkness, you will be rewarded with a fantastic shake and awesome 5.8 climbing to the top. Exit into the Nycto Gully.

Climber's right of Nyctophiliac. Starts off of the same belay.

Doubles from #.2- #2. Medium wires are handy, and there may some fixed wires on the pitch.
