Econoline, 5.10a

Econoline, 5.10a

3rd Pitch- 50m- 5.10a/ This is the crux route of the pitch, involving a typical (except even longer) EEOR slab traverse at the grade. Continue up and left to a corner with a white flake. Ascend the flake, then finger traverse right on slab and clip a bolt. These are 5.10a moves that if you miss, will swing you back into the corner with consequences. Continue at a right upward angle to a fixed piton, then traverse horizontally right on tricky, but textured, vertical slab through three bolts, the last of which you cannot see, forcing you to make an exposed blind move into a left facing corner. Climb this dirty corner as it angles up right to a bolted belay on a ledge. Ideal double rope management will cut down on rope drag for this pitch. If two 2nds following, the first 2nd can clip the next one into the pro as he/she makes the traverse. Econoline, 5.10a, 7 Pitches, EEOR (East End of Mount Rundle), July, 2008
