Description

Start with a thin patina crux on good rock past 4 bolts.   It's natural to use the arete when doing the crux, for a slightly harder option stay on the patina to the right.

At this point the wall above steepens to gently overhanging jug climbing.   As the jugs diminish at the first set of mussies finish by moving left onto the arete.

While the rock is initially high quality the top of the wall does deteriorate somewhat.  The arete finish is well protected in a nice location but the lower set of mussies is also an end of route option.

Location

At the centroid of the ORG.  The Inner Sanctum wall is as deep in the Gorge as it gets, equally distant to approach from any direction. Since the route is at the center of the most remote wall it is by default at the deepest point within the Gorge.

Immediately right of the wide crack that splits the center of the main wall.

Protection

11 bolts to lower mussy anchor, 15 bolts to higher mussy anchor.
