Drop Zone

Description

This is the right-most route on the Fall Wall, just to the right of

Cold Finger

. The route is not in Heel & Toe, but don't be fooled by the barely suppressed snickers of partners who tell you the route is "8ish". Exceptionally well-protected for a slab route, Drop Zone has reportedly been chopped and rebolted at least twice.

Set up the belay as far right as possible on the Fall Wall ledge, delicately traverse straight right past three bolts, then move up past a slight bulge in the arete. Your first decent handhold and a stem on two chickenheads ends the difficulties. Continue up on 5.6 rock past two more bolts to the same anchor as

Cold Finger

. It can be TR'd by climbing the latter route.

Protection

7 QDs plus something for the two-bolt anchor.
