4th Pitch- 80’- 5.8/ This is the crux of There and Back Again. Traverse out left onto the vertical varnished face (get a piece in early to avoid exposure to a bad factor fall). Follow big holds left to a nice crack that leads to the top of this short face section. There is at least one or two horizontal pro placements before you reach the crack. Continue up and left to a large ledge. Do not follow the corner right where a death block awaits, barely teetering on broken sandstone.
