Arachne

FA on TR: Patrick Purcell 1986, First Lead: Jon Clark 8/24/19
CREATED

Description

Arachne is a serious lead of an old toprope named Five Hundred Rednecks with Guns first climbed by Patrick Purcell in the 80s.  A lead ascent requires climbing in and out of ground fall. However, the majority of the available gear is good.  Boulder up a series of left-rising, right facing edges to a good hold (crux).  Gear is available in a pod in the seam to your left at approximately 25 feet up. Place a couple small cams at your feet and a sideways stopper a bit higher.  Continue up and left to a shallow right facing corner, and exit through a funky V-notch.  Belay from trees.Video of the FFA

The gear is specific. Taking a look on toprope is recommended prior to a lead attempt.
