Description
Begin on a shared start with "
Dogs of Doom
". Solo up to the high first bolt (this is the "R" bit) and then begin the exciting, footwork-intensive face climbing sequence on solid edges, sloping sidepulls, and classic crimps until and awkward mantle. There is a small crack here for... maybe a green Alien? Move into more exciting face climbing that links into the upper portion of Double Exposure. It has great movement and great rock; this does not get the traffic it deserves!
Location
This is at the right end of the Watch Crystal. It shares the start with the prominent, left-facing corner that is
Dogs of Doom
.
The other landmark: it is immediately right of
Push Me Pull You
.
TR to your delight off the newly updated anchor with Climb Tec Anchor Hooks which allow you to just clip and lower.
In the past, you would descend via the fixed line in the gully to your right or by rapping the face of the Watch Crystal.
Protection
1 small cam above the mantel, 7 quickdraws, and 1 48" runner or normal cordelette to extend your masterpoint over the edge of the Watch Crystal (chains should be added, see the descent info below).
