Description
In an attempt to climb directly up the main face we discovered this fun route. Start as for Salted but veer right at the base of the slab. Follow the bolts through the slab to some features on the right which you follow up and then start veering left towards a cave. At the cave take the sharp licheny crack up and left to top out. There are some anchors low on a boulder here from which you can belay your 2nd. I am not sure if you can rappel from these anchors (probably okay with 70/80m) but you definitely can from the First Strike anchors which can be reached by scrambling to climber's right (the last few feet to the anchors are a little exposed so be careful).
There are some cruxy moves that require some interesting lieback skills. After debating whether the route was 5.8 or 5.9 we put 5.8D on the topo as a joke.
Location
Right side of the prospect Wall.
Protection
4 bolts and gear to 2". There is a sweet yellow alien spot in the crux area.
