Description

Yet another classic face climb by Bob Gaines... Begin just left of

The Highwayman

and make committing moves in a left tending direction to the first bolt. Continue past four more bolts and one piton to the crux section. Very difficult moves are encountered getting to the sixth bolt (tenuous clip!) and short traverse to the thin crack (aka Skyline Finish of The Highwayman) after the 6th bolt. Two more pitons and gear protect the thin crack to the top. Four out of five stars.

Protection

Quickdraws for 6 bolts and three pitons. TCU's (#1 - #4) or brass / small stoppers are useful for the thin crack finish. Medium cams for the anchor.
