Description
A short climb that arches left up the slab. The start is marked by a fixed piton that shouldn't be trusted. The first bolt being about 20 feet up. It gets more difficult as the angle increases.
PITCH ONE
: Follow the line of bolts arching left to a ledge with a chain anchor. There is some gear placements between bolts.
SECOND PITCH:
Climb the easy and semi-loose arête/ridge above the chain belay. There are a few bolts and natural gear placements. To descend, locate two gold chains on the back side and slightly south of the top of the formation. Rap down the gulley to the south, back to the chain anchor of pitch one. From here, one rap there is one more single rope rap to the ground.
Location
The furthest left route on Alex Wall. This is the clean slab on the west side of the Back Of Beyond. Facing directly east, it gets sun till around 2:00. It is easily identified while climbing The Journey Home.
Protection
Quickdraws. A few small to medium pieces to suppliment the spaced bolts if runouts over easy ground scare you.
