The Cross

I did this climb a little bit as an eliminate to do the hardest possible line. You guys do it as you wish, but the grade may be a bit easier. I start the route with my right hand in a slopey sidepull avoiding all jugs to the right. Go up in great sequence and sustained hard climbing for four bolts. Clip a bolt of the

Lowe/Kudo

, and join the Friends of the Ophir Wall route for 10 easy and runout meters. Place some cams in the crack, and 6 feet below the horizontal crack of “the cross”, traverse left on crimps and a long reach to the bottom of the vertical, slopey crack, place a bomber cam at the horizontal crack. From here, follow four bolts on hard and pumpy climbing. After the last bolt, stay in between the two slopey cracks. If you go right, you would be joining the Friends of the Ophir Wall route. Place a 0.5 cam in the crack, and go straight up to the anchor.

Start on the steep face with four bolts right of the

Lowe/Kudo

route. Cross

Lowe/Kudo

to the left, and join the Friends of The Ophir Wall for like 10 meters, traverse left into the “cross” crack, and follow bolts from here to a bolted anchor.

9 bolts, 1 #1C3, 1 #0.5, 1 #1, 1 #2, and 1 #3.
