Washing Upon Celestial Shores
Description
Start low with a crimp sidepull and a sloping rail for the right hand. Move up to a left hand sidepull, then make a hard cross to a sloping rail. Once here, make a hard, delicate and balancy foot move, then reach up to a gaston. ("Celestial Shores" finishes as for "Meteora" from here, whereas this problem continues left.) From here, figure out how to match and then make a big span left to a sidepull. Walk the feet and gain a sloping gaston for the right and execute the super classic lock-off and last move of "Howler Direct Assis". This climb links from the start of "Asteroid" all the way into "Howler Direct". This problem provides some great, super delicate and technical climbing on sloping holds with long reaches between those holds.
Location
This problem starts about 15 feet to the right of "Growler" (Pulled Pork Arete). There is a somewhat obvious right hamd sloping rail, and a bitey left hand sidepull for the left.
Protection
5-6 pads. The landing has a few tiers and a hole os located underneath "Howler".
