Description
"Ben Venitos to Moreau Me" is a total "Bob Ross" route with happy little holds just thrown in everywhere you want them but it's definitely not a 'gimmie' on the final few feet if you avoid the escape route and summit ledge and stay on route for the final traverse before heading up to the sapling (and the easier ground high and on the left). A little over 30 feet as a diagonal with some zig-zagging and alternate paths, more or less a free for all with opportunity for direct starts without a lot of arbitrary exclusions. Minimal cleaning (key holds only) at this point.Update, Aug 2020It's a puzzle, not a sand-bag. If you go 'too direct' it will be a lot harder. Sometimes you have to get up to get down (sometimes you have to go right before getting up).More cleaning done. Too fractured for bolts.
Location
Just to the right of the ridge that can be used as a descent route or easy 4th class to set up top ropes.
Protection
There are some opportunities for clean anchors and slung blocks well above the edge, with a variety of small trees for directionals as well. Use your best judgement. I have been using long lengths of old 10MM static line looped to keep master points over the edge.
