Description
Climb face past two bolts (5.12-), cross the wide crack of Flared Bear, which arcs right, and then continue up the steep and improbable face above (5.11) to the end of the difficulties where the route joins The Butt Buttress at its second bolt. The route finishes with the upper portion of that route and shares its bolted anchor.
- Incredibly sustained and technical, this route is a testament to the vision and slab mastery of the first ascent party. Seldom done, but worth a go if hard slab climbing is your bag.
Location
This is the left-most bolted route on the west face of The Sentinel and is bounded on both sides by wide cracks - Flared Bear to the left and Sweep Walkers on the right.
