Nimbus

This wild ride maybe is a tad better than

Red Gorilla

just to the right; although it has some lower-quality rock down low, the choss is more than offset by its outrageously exposed gymnastic climbing. Scramble up easy rock (same start as for

Red Gorilla

), then diagonal left and up past four bolts to the arête. Continue on easier ground past another bolt (shared with

Creaking Plank

) to the

Red Gorilla

chains. See the photodiagram on the

Orbital Decay

page.

For those who might have investigated

Nimbus

prior to June 2012, the line has been “straightened out,” two bolts added, and cleaned, again.

See the

Red Gorilla

page for approach and beta photo.

Six draws, plus two for the chains.
