Description
This is basically a direct finish to the crack on the first pitch of
X-M
and actually finishes at the bolt anchors atop
Wide Country
.
Follow the
X-M
crack up the face. When the crack turns from a bomber lieback to fingers and hands is where
X-M
moves right into the ugly chimney to finish atop the pillar. If you want to do Interceptor, continue up the crack until it peters out at the base of a nice face/scoop.
Place a good TCU here (strenuous) and move up into the face via thin edges. A final crimp moves gets you over the bulge and into the middle of the scoop, where you can drape a sling around a flake for protection. Easier climbing leads up and left to the anchors on
Wide Country
.
Protection
Standard Eldo rack with an emphasis on finger-hand sized cams and a long sling to drape over a flake.
