Description

This route climbs the flaring groove up the middle of tallest part of Prospect Wall. It is a really interesting climb with technical gear placements and unique movement. I was surprised by how engaging of a lead it was for a 5.7. It uses a lot of small gear so bring plenty. Bolt anchor with rappel rings is found on a boulder to the right at the top of the route. You can rappel the route with a 70m rope, but will need to do about 15ft of easy/moderate downclimbing. An 80m rope barely works without downclimbing. You can also use the rap anchor for Goldfinger/Rosa May if you have a shorter rope. An easy and safe scramble down and climber's left from the top will lead to a large ledge with the Goldfinger/Rosa May rap anchor.

Location

This is the curving flaring groove in the middle of the wall. Start from the right side as shown in the topo.

Protection

Up to 3.5" - Emphasis on smaller gear.
