Description

This route is pretty darn cool. It takes the arete between Soler and Hollywood and Vine.

Climb up the face left of Soler to a first bolt and commit to Soler Eclipse. Technical face and arete climbing leads to the first crux - a reachy lieback move to a great hold over the obvious roof. Immediately afterwards there is another difficult crux that involves a "I wish my shoes had C4 rubber" move. This brings you to the first (hanging) belay (hidden from view until now).

Continue up on easier (5.10a) climbing to the top - follow the bolts: there are some sucker holds that will lead you right and into bad rock at one point.

Excellent pitch.

P1: 12 bolts to an anchor. P2: Less than 12 bolts to an anchor.
