MapWest Face Directissma
Description
This is a quality, runout, direct finish to
West Face
(or
Hair City
). Climb the crux crack of
West Face
, continue through the huecos above, and come to the final headwall of the first pitch, where most people traverse left for
Hair City
. Make a nest of gear, and launch up the middle of the face above on good edges and poor feet.
I assume Derek Hersey used to solo this regularly and just didn't tell anyone about it. Using Wayne Crill's spicyness rating, this would be a jalapeno (exciting but not really dangerous). It would make a good training route for
Inner Space
or
Jules Verne
.
Protection
A standard rack with extras in thin hands for the gear nest.
