Life in the Fast Lane

Description

This route follows a prominent right slanting dike and makes for an excellent approach pitch to EBGB's. It is pretty worthwhile, but not very sustained. The bolts are in the right places and it is not too stressful for the follower.

Follow the dike up and right past 3 well spaced bolts with a tricky crux between the 2nd and 3rd. Easy climbing on poor quality rock up and right. Surmount a small block with a finger crack and continue up the upper half of the dike (5.10-) past one more bolt on better rock.

Location

This route is down and right of EBGB's block and follows the most appealing of a couple of obvious right leaning dikes. It is in the sun from late morning on.

Protection

4 fat bolts, couple of fat stoppers and cams to 1/2" and a couple of long slings. Gear belay 1/2" to 1-1/2" cams (green and red Camelots). Down climb toward EBGB's is easy but exposed.
