Halley's Comet

FA unknown

Description

Hike into the main area of the Lower Satellites by following the signs to the Third Flatiron. When you arrive at the BBC Boulder, attempt to follow a poor social trail that almost skirts the edge of the Second Flatiron towards the Upper Satellites. Halley's Comet is located on the southeast corner of a large boulder down in a drainage before you get to any of the other problems in the Upper Satellites.

Begin from a stand start on chest high holds in the dihedral under the lip. Some dynamic slaps/tension moves and a hideous mantel precede a semi-stance 10 feet up. From here, regroup, then dance up 10-12 more feet of slab to the top. The sit start is known as

Richter Scale

and is considered V10.

Protection

A large pad or two are enough, assuming you don't fall off the high slab.
