The Glamour
Description
This is a nice warm-up after "
Ten Steps...
," since it starts off really easy and slowly builds in difficulty, and the crux is at the end. It also climbs like a highball but traverses up the hillside, so you never actually get that high off the ground.
Begin on the sharp arete on the left side of the west face, traverse to the right staying low, pulling around on to the south face, and continue traversing low.
The crux comes midway across the south face, passing two right-hand gastons, and hitting a big sloper. Pull onto the south east face and top out.
You'll hit choss if you try to top out too early. Stay low and come up on the right side of the big sloper feature at the end. I bounced on it a bunch, its solid despite sounding a little hollow.
Location
It is immediately left of the two giant boulders separated by a chimney, and to the right of the big face with the "white fang" that holds "
Noctuary
."
Protection
Several pads could protect the entire traverse, or just put one at the crux midway across the south face.
