Consolation

This is a fairly silly variation that avoids the best climbing on

Anartichoke

yet fails to skip the hardest moves. However, if you feel the need to climb every single inch of this cliffline, don't miss this!

Begin as for

Anartichoke

. At the big ledge mid-way up, stay right and jam up the decomposing crack. While geographically this line is vurtually indistinct from

Anartichoke

, the character of the climb is quite different.

Next bolted line right of

Silver Bullet

. Start as for

Anartichoke

, then veer right up the right-leaning dihedral at mid-height.

Bolts for the first half, gear to 1" for the top. No anchor, so top out or hand traverse the lip to the

Anartichoke

2 bolt anchor. Stick clip recommended or #0 TCU to protect the start.
