Outta This World

This variation links the upper corner of

Jungle Blues From Jupiter

into the dihedral (and crux) of

Spiders From Mars

via a wild roof crack traverse (11d). The 12a rating comes from

The Vaino Step

start, which I thought would provide the least amount of rope drag, plus it's the hardest of three logical starts (

The Host

,

The Vaino Step

,

Jungle Blues...

). The other two starts yield an exciting 11d.

Stick clip the first bolt, pull a hard boulder problem, then clip two more bolts (skip the second one that's too far left) with long slings before merging with

JBFJ

. Decipher the perplexing traverse that leads straight into the crux of

SFM

.

Finish as per

Spiders From Mars

: top out the thin corner, step left to an easy corner (crippling drag unless you're careful) for about 20 feet, and move back right to a two-bolt anchor.

It is well-protected throughout.

1 each: #0 Metolius - #3 Camalot, a few medium nuts.

2 each: #0.4 Camalot - #0.75 Camalot.

5 draws, 8 long slings including two double-length.
