Description
The Black Radish is an improbable, beautiful line that connects the thinnest features of the Diamond. A technical crimping masterpiece, with rock coarse enough for even the hottest days.
P1/2 - Climb P1 and 2 of Hell Bent
P3 - Climb the corner immediately left of Hell Bent. Easy traditionally protected climbing leads to a steep technical corner. Gear, Bolts 5.11a.
P4 - Start up the sloper rail and follow the bolt line out left. Outrageous climbing on thin edges, pinches and side pulls will bring you to the anchor. Bolts 5.11b.
P5 - Start off the anchor stemming and break right. Follow a rad symmetrical vertical triple seam into enjoyable face climbing. Gear, Bolts 5.10.
P6 - Dubbed the Sucker Fish, this pitch packs a punch. Pull off the ledge through a small overhang and it’s immediately game on. Big moves between small holds and some jaw dropping exposure bring you past the first 2 long crux sequences to a thank god rest ledge. One last crux on some bigger holds brings you to the chains! Bolts 5.11c.
Rap the line. It’s easiest to wrap straight down from the P5 anchors to the anchors for The Earth’s Clitoris. Although without too much struggle, you can rap the line exact.
