Description
This mixed line climbs much steeper than it looks from the ground. Start on detached blocks beneath the roof. Clip the first bolt and pull the crux before continuing up thought provoking features to the thin arete and crystal chute on the left. One final mini roof protects the easier slab to the chains. The lower and upper slab portions are protectable with finger to hand sized gear. Some may choose to simply runout the upper slab to the chains, which would make the route PG-13. An easier variation to avoid the roof could traverse in from the start of Gaia’s Gift with gear, meeting up at the 2nd bolt.A large, loose flake was cleaned from the middle section of this route during bolting so there will be some residual exfoliation in that area for some time, but overall great rock quality.
Location
5th line from the right on Elysium proper. Just left of the obvious Gaia's Gift crack. Look for a tan bolt about 15 feet off the ground on a steep roof.
Protection
5 bolts + cams (0.3-1) or nuts + 2 bolt anchor with chains. Single 60 M gets you down
