Threshold

Description

A delicate, fun seam that gets progressively easier. The crux comes prior to the first bolt but can be protected with a nut if one is persistent. I was amazed and grateful that the crux protects as well as it did.

Location

On the right side of the Wind Wall, Threshold is the obvious seam directly across from Holey Moley, which is on the New Wave Wall.

Protection

2 bolts, small gear, anchors.

Note the anchors consist of one chain and one hefty bolt. A clean rappel is difficult since the bolt is higher than the chain and the bolt appeared sharp. It is probably best to leave a quickdraw in the bolt and grab it on the hike out.

The anchors can easily be reached from above, making for a safe top rope or quick rappel in.
