Description
Up Above It is a reasonable route with some questionable gear opportunities. An experienced trad leader should feel OK, but the placements can be tough to suss out in a few spots.
Start from the ground just down and right of a large plateau of rock that extends into the main Cenotaph corner,
Right to Life
. Climb easy moves up and left onto the plateau and then up and right through a set of cracks. There are a few short cruxes, with the top one being a short move with a wide hand jam for only a few inches, feeling about 5.10b.
Some suspect rock was recently cleaned from the route, and presently it seems mostly solid to me.
Location
Just right of the main Cenotaph corner and the bolted lines, a set of discontinuous thin cracks goes up and right, starting on the ledge and finishing up top.
Protection
A standard rack of cams to 3" and a set of nuts.
