After The Fall

Head up nice brown slab towards a thin crack. Up this to a ledge, then some tricky moves over a couple of bulges to anchor.

Hard bouldery moves lead to some great slab climbing and a tricky finish.

Named due to a voilent thunderstorm that hit just as the final pitch was climbed. Starts directly opposite the Great White Ridge up the gray pillar that lies between a chimney and a line of steep huecos.The rock improves with hight.

P1)Climb past some poor rock just right of the chimney to a bolt at 15' .the rock gets much better after the second bolt.. Continue past 6 more bolts to hanging belay anchors. A fine on sight lead by Andy. 150' 5.10-

P2)Trend up to the right below the groove from the last of three bolts lower down to the large sloping hueco . Continue right to another large hueco and double anchors, 80'5.9 A0.

Descent:- Rap single rope to the top of P2 the double ropes to the ground.

Start about 100 feet left (south) from Spiderman's day off.  You're heading toward the bush/tree about as high as the top of P2 on Spidey's day off.  Climb the seams left of the highest black triangular piece.  Rather than follow the corner, move up left onto the hump and watch for the loose rocks as you run for the tree.  Bush anchor.  P2 heads up the left corner crack and rightward onto the hump through some fragile rock.  Reach the bolted anchors for Spiderman's day off and rap that route (or rap to the tree).  2 70 meter ropes worked for us.  P1 may be cutting it close with a 60.

The name of the climb is a requested dedication to Ed Webster's superb climb Primrose Dihedral on the Moses Tower.
