Change in Luck

Description

This route is basically a hard boulder problem (V3/4, IMO) up to a good hands free rest. After that a long, dynamic move puts you onto easier terrain. After the last bolt directly on Change in Luck, it's a long, traversing runout to join Skid Mark at the last bolt and then chains shortly thereafter. The climbing on this runout is very moderate.

Change in Luck currently shares anchors with Skid Mark, around 10 feet to the right and perhaps 25 feet above the last bolt directly on Change in Luck. A spicy runout--a fall near the top could have you swinging hard into the cliff in front of New Wave.

A fun climb worth getting on if you've already tagged some of the better lines on the wall.

Note: the right side of the big hole that you rest in feels pretty rotten--use it gently.

Note: Stick-clipping the second bolt is not a bad idea; very difficult climbing to a difficult clipping position.

Location

This is the line left of Skid Mark, which is the line left of Holey Moley. Shares last bolt and anchors with Skid Mark.

Protection

Bolts, Anchors, extra long runners to hang on the last bolt if you want to give your partners an easier, safer lead.
