Out Of Order

Description

From the tree on the ledge scramble up to make the first clip. find a right hand fingerlock and bust left in to a series of horizontal edges and slots. The rock is amazingly solid but equally slippery unless you hit it just right. Precision footwork will pay off and keep it feeling 5.10. Fail to figure out the feet and you will be working much harder. This bit of technical face climbing leads to a classic slopey mantle and a scamper up easier rock to the anchor.

I personally LOVE this one. Give it a try and tell me what you think.

Location

Essentially a second pitch to Nicely Stacked (5.7 trad) but the way we have been doing it is to climb the long 5.8 (Lonesome Buffalo) and lower down toward climbers left on to the ledge. Out of Order parallels the upper half of Lonesome so you will easily find it. Anchor to a large tree and have your second follow Lonesome and lower down to meet you on the ledge. Well worth the logistics.

Protection

5 bolts to ram horn (pig tail) anchors
