Description
Redtail 5.9- *** (200') M(15b)
Begin 15' right of "Swiftly" (and 15' left of the big corner) and climb directly up to the 2 chain anchors on top. Can be done as one long pitch with a 60m rope straightened out with some long draws, but probably best done as two. Sustained, moderate, interesting climbing on mostly excellent rock with an exciting finish makes for a great adventure.
P1 - 5.9- *** (95') F(10b) - fun, sustained, reachy climbing to the 2 chain anchors with extra bolt at mid-face.
P2 - 5.7 *** (105') M(5b) - after an easy section, above the 3 bolt semi-hanging belay over some hollow flakes, head up and left through the weakness in the roof. Several bolts help protect this mostly trad upper pitch (with a wide range of horizontal cam placements from tiny to large).
Location
On the tall wall just left of the large corner system that marks the right edge of the Red-tail Wall.
Protection
Mixed - 15 bolts (green hangers) and several pieces of gear (#00 to #3 cams - with doubles of #2), 2 chain anchors at mid level and top.
