Description

Start in the north facing crack system between the Protean Catch arete and the Pipe Cleaner corner and head up towards the prominent roof and bulge of Protean Catch. Cross left beneath the arete and bolte and get into a chossy and scary corner that we need to clean more. This corner leads to a committing though well protected southeast facing face with delicate moves that leads to the top and the same anchors as used for the above two climbs. Certainly not for the timid.

Two bolt anchor with quick links and chain links -- same anchors as for Pipe Cleaner.

Location

Upslope of Proto Pipe, between the above mentioned climbs and obvious from the photo.

Protection

All trad, double rack, some nuts, and a hell of a lot of caution to avoid the loose rock.
