Description Suggest change

This is an amazing link-up to create a really great pitch of Eldo 5.11 climbing. Climb the Northcutt Direct start to The Bastille Crack. Place some gear high near the P1 anchor on The Bastille Crack, then head straight left on an exciting traverse to the 5th bolt on Madame de Guillotine. From here, fire straight up on intricate face climbing past 4 more bolts. There is a distinct crux that feels pretty hard for 11b unless you have it sussed out. It's pretty spicy after the last bolt on 5.10a moves. You can place a few pieces on the easy section up to the P2 belay on The Bastille Crack. Finish on The Bastille Crack or Outer Space. Or do P3 of The Bastille Crack, and then traverse up and right to the anchor at the base of Hairstyles and Attitudes. Climb that route or you can rappel from that anchor down and climber's right to the X-M/Wide Country anchor and from there to the ground. A 70m rope is needed.

Location Suggest change

Start just left of The Bastille Crack on the Northcutt Start.

Protection Suggest change

5 bolts, 1 pin, some gear for the Northcutt Start and for the finish on Madame de Guillotine. Set a gear anchor as for P2 of The Bastille Crack.
