MapDescription
Higher Messiah is an extension or second pitch to the 5.10 base route, Leper Messiah. It links into a single pitch from the ground, creating a 20 bolt, 165 ft. mega-pitch with the 5.11 crux near the top.
Caution: At mid-height it crosses a nearly unavoidable and mysteriously attached large block. A two hour cleaning session with a crowbar produced the current, seemingly solid configuration (Oct. 2018). Tread lightly. Geologic time includes now.
Location
Start on Leper Messiah and continue straight up the second pitch.
Protection
9 bolts as a second pitch, or 20 clips for the full link-up.
