Description
On the right side of Highlander is a large roof with a route through its mid-section (
The Outsider
, 5.11c/d). Just to right of the roof is STBU. While the start looks slabby and broken up, STBU ascends a colorful short fin with a seam in the middle on surprisingly good moves. Power up over the fin with an easy mantle to gain a ledge that leads to the business end of knocking up that bitch. Tricky moves over the overlap lead to some very solid and enjoyable edge climbing to the anchor. This is a fun route with reasonable continuity, solid rock, and good climbing moves. An extendo-clip makes entering the overlap very comfortable, otherwise there is some concerning for smacking the ledge if you don't make the clip over the overlap. The name...(?)... must have been a bad night for the Todster.
Protection
QDs only. This 90 foot route needs a dozen or so draws and something for the double bolt anchor at the top.
Eds. Note, if you go to the upper 2 bolt anchor with cold shuts, it is 100' to the ground!
