Description

Is it just me, or are ORG slab routes always hard for the grade?

A very sustained pitch with good variety that is slightly marred by a little bit of decomposing rock near the top.

Steep moves getting to the 1st bolt (10c) followed by a couple of hard moves pulling onto the slab (10c), easing off a bit then cruxing getting to the 4th bolt. Some easier climbing on the edge of slab gets you to an interesting undercling/roof move which does not seem correctly bolted as a fall here could swing you into the slab. A couple of steep, fun moves involving a crack, decomposing rock for the left foot and bomber stone on the right finish off the climbing.

Location

The leftmost route on the right sector of WOW, starting behind the northernmost trestle support.

Protection

8 bolts. Might want a stick clip for the first. Also might want to put a short draw on the 6th and make sure the belayer is paying attention at this point.
