Gardensmith Bypass Shears

If you just climbed

Made In The Shade

, how about an easy OW? Maybe this has been done, but there was a lot of thick lichen and some basic cleaning that would suggest not. (I kept thinking some clippers would be handy.) This is a nice enough climb, it will clean up with a bit more traffic. It is no harder than

MITS

, IMHO.

Start up the 5.9 variation of

MITS

, 30 feet left of the direct start. At the ledge, instead of walking right to

MITS

, climb the obvious crack to the left. At the top of the pillar, angle right through the Morman Tea to the anchors.

Standard rack, including a #4 Camalot.
