Description

Mithril, as any JRR Tolkien fan knows, is the legendary chainmail armor of the Elves worn by Frodo in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. You may find such armor useful on your left arm as you jam the overhanging off-hands crack of the second pitch. Above the off-hands crack, ascend a narrow chimney to easier terrain, arrive at a big ledge with a big pine and belay from the tree. Bring up your partner and rappel 90 feet to the road.

Protection

Pitch 1: 2 bolts only, gear anchor.

Pitch 2: Gear up to 3 inches with 2 or 3 pieces in the fat-hands range.

Top: Rappel 90 feet from a big pine. May need slings and a rappel ring.
