Flat Earth Society

This is the leftmost line in the Bad Religion Alcove, and tackles an obvious OW flake that is visible from the trail on the hike in. The line is less striking once you are directly beneath it, and has a somewhat spooky appearance due to the dubious-looking features it climbs over. It felt more solid than it looks, and is a varied pitch with a healthy dose of wide climbing on pretty good stone once past the initial bit.

Start up twin cracks with mostly thin hands on friable rock to a crumbly shelf at 20' (we cleaned this pretty heavily after the FA, but it's still silty and on the loose side), traverse left past several fingercrack/flakes to a handcrack in a right-facing corner/flake which is followed for a bit, move right into the main crack system on handjams that progressively widen to the crux section of tight flare with rattly fists and bigger in the back. This final stretch is quite physical and requires some body English. 

Follow the description on the Church Wall page to access the long traverse ledge above the limestone band. Traverse far left on this ledge. The Bad Religion Alcove is about 100' left of Follow Your Bliss, and has an exposed 4th class traverse section right before the steep gully into the alcove is reached.
