Prime Time

Original first pitch starts up and right from Direct Route’s start and enters Direct’s first pitch from the right, or just do the straight up Direct start. From the first belay alcove, climb left around corner onto juggy 5.10 face, and up to shared belay with Friendly Fire. Traverse straight right into a Tahquitz like crack system, then through roof with an offsize crack, all gear protected, 10a. Continue above roof to bolted belay on right side of large blocky ledge. 4th pitch is gear protected cracks to the left of bolted Direct Route’s 4th pitch, and shares its belay alcove, 10a. Last pitch is left up face and arete, 5.11, bolt protected, but a medium sized cam is nice to protect the last moves.

Prime Time starts on low angle broken rock about 25’ up and right of lowest point of wall, which is where the Direct starts. This is also the start of Rebuttal in the Sun, the two routes split about 50’ off the ground, with Prime Time moving left to The Direct.
