The Man Eater

P1: 5.10+ pg

Great but difficult to protect hands to fingers up a thin flake system. Continue up the crack system to a few airy and fun thin fingers moves over a short roof. Climb past the star drive and belay at a small ledge with one modern bolt.

P2: 5.10

The crack widens and the gear becomes more confidence inspiring. Belay at a big ledge with two star drives. Back them up with #2 Camalot. Or was it #1?

P3:

Walk across the big ledge around the boulder for 20ft. A three bolt belay is around the corner. At least one of them is a modern bolt

P4: 5.9

Cruise straight up to another two bolt anchor on a big ledge. Watch out for the damn cactus up there.

P5: 5.7

Short set of moves past pins gains the pine tree belay. Watch rope drag.

P6: 5.11+ or A0+

Bolt ladder to the summit. First bolt is missing a hanger. Do a few free moves to get past the gap in bolts higher up.

Obvious flake system left of the alcove. Base of the route faces Ataxia

lots of star drives

Rack:

Nuts/offsets

Doubles .2-4" less will work, PG either way
