Cross Faded
Description
P1: Start on the left side of the shady alcove between Sea of Joy and Dark Side of the Moon. Move up on easy terrain to a comfortable stance below a short steep headwall. Make a couple thin moves up past two bolts and grab a deep runnel and pull up onto the big party ledge and chain anchors.
P2: Stem up an easy corner until you can pull fully onto the face. Climb 2 bolts of Under My Thumb then stay left on a separate bolt line through the big overlap. Pull the overlap on thin hands and feet and continue up on improving holds and fun moves to sport anchors. Note: this pitch crosses Under My Thumb and after the two shared bolts, takes the left bolt line while Under My Thumb finishes on the right bolt line.
Location
Cross Faded starts on the right side of Sea of Joy and is the left hand route of 4 routes that start in the shady alcove between Sea of Joy and Dark Side of the Moon.
Protection
P1: 7 bolts, chain anchors. P2: 14 bolts, sport anchors. Leader should lower back to the party ledge and belay from the chain anchors. Recommended to do as a 2 pitch cllimb with a single 60 meter rope.
