Midnight Sun

This variation climbs the beautiful slab above Twilight Ledge, joining Hell’s Angel for its last 3 bolts, avoiding the scary lower half of Hell’s Angel. The upper half of this pitch has some excellent quality stone.

From Twilight Ledge climb the slab past 3 bolts (10+), then move right to a 4th bolt. Head up and left, then straight up past 2 more bolts up to a curving ledge (Sickle Ledge). 12a above the last bolt.

2-bolt anchor. Rap 80 feet to Twilight Ledge and another 2-bolt anchor, then rap another 50 feet to the ground. Or, rap with 2-ropes (140 feet).

Begins at Twilighht Ledge. This can be approached by climbing the first pitch of Twilight Delight (5.9), or by climbing up and right from the base of Short Story via thin ledges (5.0) that lead up to Twilight Ledge.

6 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.
