| Follow the climber's trail along the cliff past Robinson Crusoe to Wanderlust. The route is at the right end of the ledge below the start of Wanderlust & Eclipse. An oak tree with three trunks marks the exact start. George was 76 when he put up this climb! |
The belayer needs to pay attention! A bit trickier than it looks.
Pitch 1: A bit of a scramble takes you to a stance where you can get in a #1 Camelot. Climb up and right past a bolt using an undercling and a foothold out to the right to get situated. Follow the right-leaning crack to a large tree at the top.
|
| Protection is a #1 Camelot, a bolt, brown Tricam and an optional 3/4" SLCD. Use trees for the top anchor.
