Before The Storm

"Before The Storm" is located in The Canyon and is the fifth line of bolts on the west (left) side of the narrow shaded canyon formed by the Elephant's Head & the Hatchery. "Before The Storm" begins just downhill from where the base of the canyon slopes sharply downward, and uphill from the bush growing in the narrow portion of the canyon. Face climb up past three bolts to a bulge. Move up and right and over the bulge. Above the bulge the angle eases and numerous pockets lead up and slightly right to the top.

On the west face of The Hatchery in the First Corridor. The route begins downhill from where the base of the canyon slopes sharply downward and uphill from the bush. "Before The Storm" is the 7th line of bolts from the gap between the Egg & the Hatchery, as of March 2013. A 60 m rope will do.

13 bolts & chain anchors.
