Description

This route is kind of a crimpfest that follows a seam up to a slabby finish then into a groove to the anchors. The bottom has some nice rock and movement and then the business begins after the third bolt or so. From there it's non-stop crimping to the final bolt.  At this point you can move left into the corner/groove and continue up the seam (1" and smaller cams helpful) or you can connect into the top of Ore Chute by moving out onto the steep left face with large holds .  When you first get into the seam there is a pod that will take a 3" cam, or the chickenhead there can also be girth hitched.

Note: The topo indicates this climb only requires bolts but this would mean a 30 foot runout to the anchors.  There is also "(11 bolts)" pencilled in on the topo but this would only happen if you combined the first 9 bolts of Masonic Order with the last two bolts of Mercury Bath (which is an option).

Location

To the right of Ore Chute and left of Mercury Bath.

Protection

9 bolts and optional cams (3" and a few <=1" if staying in the seam at the top)
