Description

Begin up the west side of the north face of Half & Half crag using varied grips to climb upward on increasingly harder terrain (note: after climbing past bolt 7 you will pass the 2-bolt anchor for

Close Call

). As you pass the left side of the highest roof, you encounter the crux, which is a steep section that requires technical face climbing. This transitions to easier climbing that leads to the anchors. From the anchors on Direct Hit, with a 60m rope, you can lower or rap and just reach the base of the climb.

Location

Direct Hit is located on the west edge of the north face of Half & Half crag.

Protection

Direct Hit is protected by 14 bolts and a 2-bolt anchor with chains and biners. The route is a full 100 foot long pitch, so with a 60m rope, be careful when belaying, and tie a knot in the end of your rope. If needed, the belayer can safely move up onto a short ramp at the start of the climb and clip into the first bolt when lowering the leader.
