Out of the Way

Description

Out of the Way is a second pitch or extension to the existing route, Old and in the Way.Climb Old and in the Way to a new anchor (10d trad) at a good ledge.  An easy scramble up and left leads to increasingly steep moves protected by four bolts, to an anchor with steel 'biners.   If linking from the ground, a 70m rope will just barely get you back down.  Tie a knot in the end.   Breaking it into two pitches will help minimize ledge fall potential.  

Location

Above Old and in the Way, a couple columns left of Cruel Sister.

Protection

Bring doubles on small gear down to #0 Metolius for Old and in the Way. Out of the Way has four bolts with no other gear required.
