Geometrics

Geometrics has some good climbing with a fun and surprising crux but with a few detractors along the way. It is still quite worth doing but not for people marginal at the grade, who might find it very intimidating.

This route follows the chimney on the right side of the wall, as does

Twisted

. It continues up to the cutoff, stepping hard left onto a ramp/slab with a crack on the right. Step onto this, and follow it up a few body lengths until that crack arches up to vertical and then curls over to the right, forming a roof with a hand-crack behind it.

Climb this system to the roof and up and over on good holds that are far enough apart to force the leader to get semi-horizontal, up and over the roof, then to the anchors as for

Twisted

, out to the right, above. A few cams above the roof can be set with long slings to protect the second from a severe swing if they pop off at the crux (

i.e.

yellow Alien and green Camalot with 3' and 2' slings, respectively).

A full set of nuts and cams, with at least a 2.5" cam saved for the cux roof. Take a few long slings as well to cut back on rope drag.
