Description

Lots of interesting moves with holds at unexpected angles.

Start between right-facing corner of "Obelix" and small gully of "IceCube".

Roughly straight up staying between those two routes, passing a small overhang along the way. Near the top can trend right to the two-bolt anchor of "IceCube".

warning

: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

FA first ascent? The listing of a Top-Rope first ascent does not imply that top-roping is the "appropriate" style for this route. If some party bolts this route and leads it and supplies a careful description of the size and metal-composition of the bolts and hangers - (by posting an Improve This Page or a Comment below) -- they wlll be given first-rank FA on this page. Also they can supply their own name for this climb (which is why currently this route has a "generic" name, awaiting installation of hardware).

Location

Between right-facing corner of "Obelix" and small gully of "IceCube". Below from between the top anchors for those routes.

Protection

Top anchor is the same two-bolt anchor as for the route "IceCube" (or perhaps could use the two-bolt anchor for the route "Obelix").

No intermediate bolts for leading as of 2018.

note: The two anchor bolts are vertically offset, so cannot just connect two quickdraws for lower-off or top-rope as many American sport climbers are accustomed. Consider bringing a sling or climbing accessory cord with one or two carabiners or quick-links.

In case anchor hardware is damaged or missing or otherwise inadequate, recommend to carry a few feet of 8mm climbing accessory cord and at least one quick-link.

Top-Roping: Top anchor could be reached by leading the route "Obelix" or the route "Right Edge".

Protection for Trad leading is unknown and likely inadequate.
