Description
This is the obvious link-up between the start of
Apogee Pending
and the finish of
That's What She Said
. This is one of the more gymnastic lines of the grade at Shelf, with big moves on a steep wall, and no tweaky pockets.
Begin as for
AP
, with techy, thin face climbing to a good rest, followed by a power endurance crux boulder problem that culminates in a huge dyno just above the second bolt. Clip
AP's
Third bolt with a long draw or sling, then move left around the arete, climbing relatively easily past the last three bolts of
TWSS
.
Location
Begin at the center of obvious overhanging north wall of the big dihedral.
Protection
6 bolts, 2BA (shared with
Unknown 1
). Stick clip recommended. The finish is a bit spicy (on 5.8 or less terrain), but all of the hard moves are well protected. Bring a few finger-sized cams to protect the last 30' if so desired.
