Ba'th Party Politics

P1 - Work your way up the left side of the slot to the roof. Puzzle your way out from under the roof and continue up to a grassy ledge system. Gear belay at the base of the corner. (5.9, 40ft.)

P2- Climb the corner past the tree and up the offwidth crack above to bolted anchors on the right near the top. (5.9, 70ft.)

The far east! Pass Crack Attack, Open Sesame and Seal Test. Continue right passing the Capital Assets buttress and walk another couple of minutes until you spot a tree growing down out of the base of the cliff in an unusual, chubby manner. Above this is a short, bomb bay slot capped by a flat roof about 20 feet up. Above that is a large, left-facing corner with a tree about halfway up.

Surprisingly you'll need no big gear for this climb. A standard rack does just fine. Bolts with rings at the top of pitch 2.

We used a 70m rope, but it looked like you'd probably get down ok on a 60m. Watch your ends!
