Every Trick in the Book

Description

Both Steiger's & EFR's guide recommend this as it's own one pitch route. It's quite unique, & will have you remembering the route's name every 5 feet or so.Listed as a variation start to "Something Unsaid," this interesting pitch is worth doing once (pretty obscure) & offers an alternative to regaining the ledge system that bisects the Sea Gods if you'd rather not solo the unprotectable 5.8 to get up to the ledge where Heat Wave, Something Unsaid, or Om start. Continuous & well protected for the most part, smooth laybacks and delicate footwork take quite a tilted path. You traverse more than you gain height above the gully. Pulling over the lip is a fun, committing & different finish to an otherwise continuous route. It is possible to belay/rap down from the tree right of the route's finish. You'll want to be followed to clean.

Location

Poseidon's Lower NW face. Just below the main ledge system. The line is obvious as you drop further down the gully if coming from around the Aegir.

Protection

Gear to #3 Camalot, doubles of fingers, nuts. Belay from tree on ledge.
