The Resistance

FA Richard Rossiter and Pebby Johns, July 2006
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Begin with a finger and hand crack, then pull up and left to a stance beneath the first bolt, which is shared with The Solution. From the first bolt climb up and slightly right over ever more resistant terrain (and 3 more bolts). The crux is in passing the last two bolts. The solution holes vanish, though more holes are visible just above to lend encouragement. When the angle eases, climb to a 2-ring anchor on the slab. Lower off 80 feet.

Crux Detour: It is reasonable to step right above the 2nd bolt and finish with the difficult finger cracks of Black Tiger (q.v.). Climb to the same 2-ring anchor and lower off 80 feet.

Location

Begin this super clean and challenging route from the middle tree on the Ledge With 3 Trees. This route is maybe 15 feet left of Black Tiger, but draws nearer on the way up.

Protection

Gear from 0.5 inch to 2 inches plus maybe 8 QDs. Lower off 80 feet from a 2-ring anchor at the top of the slab.
