The Cure

, but continue left to the arete, and finish up the arete.

This was a project, but then some A-Hole chiseled crimps into the face and modified a foot hold. The perpetrator then sent the line with the chipped holds. This line has now been done without the chipped hand-holds, but the modified foot is beyond repair.

Use this as a lesson. Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean it can't be done. Perhaps you lack the strength, skills, and imagination, but that doesn't mean you have to ruin it for everyone else.

I will be filling in the chipped hand-holds.

Start on

The Sword

, but climb straight up using the left arete and small shield crimp or the far 2 finger pocket.

Sit start on an angling crimp rail. Climb up and right on crimps and pinches. Then make a committing move up and left to top out to the left side of the large, hanging block.

This is a classic problem on a slightly overhanging face.

Sit-start with left hand in an undercling pocket, right hand on a small crimp pocket. Do a long powerful cross move to a bad, sloping crimp. Move your left hand to a very small/very sharp crimp. Next is a good right hand sloper followed by a decent crimp rail. From the rail, move to a tiny incut crimp and move to the top. It has an easy top-out.
