Description

This is one of 6 routes that is accessed from the broad ledge below a broad steep face called "The Wall". Use one of 4 approach pitch options (Don't Bring Me Down, I Turn to Stone, Stairway to Heaven, or Barracuda) to gain chain anchors on a comfortable ledge.

Run Like Hell starts 15 feet left of the chain anchors and climbs continuous, steep thin chert for 100 feet.  Work up on thin chert until you are close to the right edge of a huge alcove in the rock. Work your right hand and foot on the edge for a couple bolts until pulling fully back onto the chert face. Continuous climbing on chert continues to the anchor.

Location

The climb starts 15 feet right of the chain anchors at the base of 'The Wall'.

See the

beta picture for relative location.

Protection

12 bolts, chain anchors. Single rappel on a 60 meter rope gets you back to the ledge. Another single rappel on a 60 meter rope gets you back to the ground.
