The Electric Beaver Super Quest

Description

The Electric Beaver Super Quest was named for the long lost hit single Electric Beaver by the British glam band Super Quest! Though it made a huge splash in it's time it was lost to obscurity on account of the fact that it's existence is 100% fictitious.  I would expect this route to wind up just going by Super Quest since I entered the first section as it's own route. Time will tell. (Spoiler alert) Climb the easy start up a nice slab and up past some cracked low angle rock to the anchor on the headwall (5.7). Clip one of the anchor bolts with a long draw, move out right on jugs to make the next bolt then back down to the stance. Boulder through tenuous moves and seek out THE BEST hidden jug you will ever get. If you don't find this hold the mantle could be heinous and the next clip could be dangerous with the slab below. From the jug, the clip is no big deal. Continue the adventure up the wall above, moving right to gain the left angling ledge. The best is yet to come! The climbing above would be a great 5.10+ ish route on it's own. Follow the crack to an upper slab and eventually your anchor and a spectacular vista.This route still needs a final cleaning but I figured I would share it because folks might be wondering what it is. It is excellent, You are welcome to it, but I will update this when it's 100% prepped.

Location

On the very far right end of Main Cliff. To the right of the steep hard routes on Jeremy's wall. Look for a long rambling wall just to the right of a cave like chimney. This route starts from a small dirt ledge most easily approached from the gully as you hike past the Alchemy wall. Instead of going right into the Alchemy head left to the base of the Beaver.

Protection

15 bolts to lower off. 70 m rope needed to lower.
