Mayday Malefactor, 5.10c

3rd Pitch- 140’- 5.10c/The route offers a left hand variation here, but the right hand (original line) is much more appealing. Traverse out right via thin reachy edges past a few bolts until you are below a crack/shallow right facing corner. Very similar to Sweet Thin (which intersects Malefactor at this point), climbing this corner/flake could be the most enjoyable climbing of the day. Toward the end of the crack, make a balance move at the grade to clip a lone bolt on the slick face above. Make one or two delicate/thin moves for the grade to reach a real positive hand rail. Mount this feature and follow good cracks up and slightly right to a comfortable (significant ledge) fixed belay.
