Description

Great climb. Although there are many bolts on the climb, route finding is needed to figure out the best path to follow. Great line. 

Pitch 1 - Climb seam with bolts, then traverse left beneath the large roof, take care to avoid very loose blocks. Surmount roof and belay on ledge above.

Pitch 2 - Follow bolts up and left and then trend diagonally right on easy ground to belay just beyond alcove and to the right of the arete that forms a sweeping, arching right leaning overhang dihedral.

Pitch 3 - Step left and up onto the arete paste two bolts and crux. Then awesome climbing on ears, plates, and chicken heads to beneath roof. Move up and right through the weakness in the roof(s) to belay bolts.

Pitch 4 - Trend diagonally up and right around prow and climb up to be right beneath a vague crack in a vague open book, step right and then up slab following bolts to final roof. Pull around roof at the bolt and then easy climbing to the top. 

Location

Furtherest right bolted line on Waste Land Dome, uphill from Teenage Wasteland.
