Eeyore's Tail

5th Pitch- 40m- 5.8/ This is the most sustained and crux pitch of the day due to a hard to follow route. Head up the dihedral where you will be forced to do a layback to get past the crux. You will find plenty of gear placements to protect the difficult moves. After that, pay attention as it can be quite difficult to follow. We ventured too far left and got into 5.10 territory, where I did clean some bail treasure, so we were not the only ones to veer off course here. To reach the next station, you need to find your way straight up from the dihedral or just slightly left. You are looking for a steep crack with a piton, but if you traverse left to early, that is where you run into tougher ground. So angle up left to the piton which is hard to spot from the right. From the piton, follow an exposed diagonal break right to the station. At 60m, we built a station above the bolts.
