Intelligent Design

Description

The route is on the left-most side of cave. Climb first half of "Hominid" and traverse right to belay or if you are in the mood for a fun roof problem, climb "Natural Selection" whose anchors share the belay stance for "Intelligent Design".

From the belay, climb straight up face and dihedral to a step right and over bulges onto super-exposed face of large hanging pillar, then pull the exhilerating crux and dance to the anchors.

Note: From mid-belay, the climber can be lowered through top anchor of this route to the ground with a 60m rope (use your best judgement). It will eliminate fiddling with setting up the rappel after your proud send.
