Description
The route can be approached by climbing the first pitch of
Calypso
,
Boulder Direct
,
Recon
, etc... anything that takes you to the big ledge/ramp that leads down and south from the anchors atop of P1 of
Calypso
.
Just below the big alcove of the
West Overhang
is another system that climbs up and to a second roof. The route follows a large crack through the second roof where there is a small amount of poor rock.
The best way to do this route is to start on
West Overhang
, come through that roof, then step to the right and finish through the second roof (Lemmings) instead of on the easy crack/corner of the
West Overhang
. Done this way, the route gets a single * and is slightly better protected.
To descend, traverse left from the top of the route to the fixed rap anchors above
Boulder Direct
.
Protection
The route can be protected on a standard rack plus a big piece (#4 Camalot) near the crux.
The protection takes some creativity and is only satisfactory, not great. This should not be lead by a borderline 5.8 leader.
