Description

Highly-quality moderate crack climb. Harder than originally graded. Tenuous but fun start to a series of unprotected ledges. Move up and left via wide cracks, then step up into roof hand crack. Make a few hard pulls up into a stemming stance. Traverse right along the rail and pull onto the anchor ledge.

You can optionally continue another 15' straight up on Fit & Starts (10-, a couple 1-2" cams) or put a top-rope on Yeoman's Work (10+, single bolt for directional). Gym Rats From Hell is not a good top-rope because of swing potential after unclipping the last bolt.

Location

Obvious alcove on the far right side of the Shining Wall

Protection

Gear to 3", anchor with fat hangers (do not lower)
