Shadowline

A fast, fun way, far up into the heart of the wall. Finishing on the

Center Block arete pitch

of The Diamond of San Diego is spectacular and sets you up well to crag the Headwall.

Use the

Center Direct beta

to get into the corner system in the center of The Wedge.

Scramble up to the Command Center start ledge and belay off bolts on the right side. Link the right trending 5.6 pitches that lead to the 3rd pitch belay of Being and Nothingness.

After the initial three bolts leave this corner system to the left via an optional, extended 3" piece. Shown

here.

At about 90' you'll encounter an optional belay (bolts) below and right of the Center Block above you.

Extend or skip this belay and use the bolt up left to crank the last crux onto the bolted stance on the far right side of the Command Center Ledge (which is the Diamond of San Diego belay).

But don't stop here, continue on up the arete, enjoying the exposure, rock quality, and comfort of the ledge atop the Center Block

~12 bolts. A long draw or runner here and there. Optional 3" cam on the 2nd pitch. One or two small/medium cams if you opt for the 5.9

Center Direct

start.
