The Ruminator
Description
The best moderate highball in Leavenworth. Start low, standing, on good holds. Power through the hardest moves up and left, through the crack system, and establish on big jugs at 10 feet. Psych yourself up, and finish up and left around the corner. This is a proud climb.
The finish straight up through the sloper on the even-taller face is an impossibly amazing v10 variant - Cremation of Care.
Location
Around the corner to the right and uphill from The Physical. Geographically, this is the central line in Upper Forestland. Look for a large, left leaning crack that finishes at about 20 feet over a stepped landing.
Protection
Depends on your comfort level. The hardest moves are near the ground, and you'll want maybe 2 good pads for that. When you get high, you're less likely to fall, but the landing is stepped, and it's tall as shit. So if you wanted to be able to bail or fall, you'd want another 3 big pads, probably.
