Stilgar's Wild Ride, 5.8

Stilgar's Wild Ride, 5.8

Arrow showing a bit run out above the ledge. The corner is mostly closed or choss for that section. 5th - 100’- 5.8/ Technically this is the most challenging pitch of the climb. Start up blank face on solid rock and place pro in the right facing corner using shoulder length slings to keep the rope out of the corner. Continue stemming up the corner utilizing solid facial features out right on better rock when they exist. Keep protecting in the corner, but climbing more and more out right. Eventually head out right below the third overhang and climb easy run out ground to a huge boulder serving as a solid belay ledge. You can see to the left through a large keyhole to the top of the tunnel pitch on tunnel vision. This pitch is a bit run out early and late.
