Lay Me Down

A sporty alternative finishing pitch for either The Glory Road, Tuesday Afternoon or the Bandito Route. Ascends the center east face of BCW's upper headwall, joining the last pitch of Stroke It Gently at the final horizontal crack traverse.

Climb starts by angling left in seam from the large belay ledge, which is the novel beginning of both The Glory Road’s and the Bandito Route's third pitches. There's an easy runout face after the first two clips, then steeper face with pockets past another four clips. The P4 piton of Stroke It Gently can be clipped with a long runner or a large cam used (farther right) to protect the mellow underclinging horizontal traverse to top.

Six bolts; one long runner or single large cam. Belay/rap anchors at top and bottom. Three 70m single lines.
