A Twist of Lemmon

Description

Climb a few moves in low angle corner to a short steep and deceptively difficult crack. A couple of thin (pinky to Blue Metolius micro cam) is all you will need to reach the bolted arete. After the initial crack move up a tight corner until possble to hand traverse right to a good right foot on the arete. Classic 3D arete moves follow, laybacking up the edge and technical footwork until the angle kicks back just below the ledge. From the ledge at the top of the arete use an extended alpine runner and traverse edges left to finish on the stellar finger of Green Knight/ Fine Line. You will need finger sized gear and a red or green cam at the top. See the gear list below. Done this way as a single pitch I would give it 3 stars. You could also finish straight up the wide crack 5.9 (bring 3s 4s and 5s) or traverse down and right and finish on Morning Star 5.10+Looking into the canyon, rap off to the left of where Green Knight/Fine Line ends. This drops you down over the wide crack known as The Depths. (Toula's guide) Continue down past the ledge where the fat crack starts and continue down to the rappeler's left of the arete. About 30 feet below the arete you will find a 2 bolt anchor at the bottom of a low angle corner. This belay allows you to see the climber the whole way.

Location

Right of Green Knight below the wide crack of The Depths.

Protection

Stoppers and doubles to fingers and one Green Camalot. Most of these are needed to do the stellar finish of Green Knight/Fine LIne.
