Approach pitch - Climb up a slightly awkward corner feature that transitions to a face near the anchor. 25 meters, 2 bolt anchor

 Money pitch - follow slabby bolts up and left leading to a small roof, the routes crux. Pull the roof with double underclings on a creaky hold and continue to the obvious left facing corner. Wrestle the arete to get established in the corner And finish on a ledge at a 2 bolt anchor. This pitch is Hatcher Pass granite at its finest; sustained techie climbing in a stunning position. 7 bolts drilled on lead, 45 meters

Clip one bolt to protect a tricky start and then move into a fun fingercrack over overlaps

The obvious seam splitting the center of the Shield feature. Start directly below and under a large roof, aka Colombia Carl. Climb 30 meters of 5.10 to an anchor below the SEAN. From the anchor get ready for 3 distinct cruxes with great rests in between. Make sure your chalk bag is full and your groin stretched. Beautiful amazing moves for 35 meters ending at a bolted anchor. It was 7 years ago now that Eddie and I first attempted this line. I’m happy to share it now with the tubes. Will be a memorable onsight. R.I.P. Super Eddie Always Ninja
