Description

Another 2 pitch spicy face climb, there seems to be no end to them on this wall. This route is known for being a committing lead so be solid at the grade. Pitch 1: Start just left of Thin Air and climb to the right side of a horizontal break. Pull onto the steep face above and make 5.8 moves up to the next ledge. Here, trend left into The D'arcy Route to keep the grade at 5.8. Joining rapid transit makes for a spicier and more stout 5.9+ finish. Either path you chose, you'll want to head to the anchor for Rapid Transit P1. 5.8 120ftPitch 2:A bold lead with some temptation. Climb up and right from the belay to a bolt. Step back down and climb left to a second bolt. This is your last bolt, make a long runout all the way to the bushy ledge. The nearby bolts are for Onion Head 11c and the original Spacewalk was done without these. For the full experience, don’t borrow the off route bolts to bring the climb down, rise to the challenge of the mountain. (Obviously if you genuinely think you’re gonna deck be safe and clip them).  5.9 PG13/R
