Dark Shadows, 5.8

5th Pitch- 120’- 5.7/ The fifth pitch follows a seam past a bolt and over an easy bulge/roof. Towards the end of the pitch, exit out of the widening crack left onto a large ledge with bad bolts (2010) on its edge. Fix a gear belay in the back crack, medium to large gear. Retreat from here will require leaving gear (2010) or you can make your way over to the east side of the ledge and locate a fixed station there and take your chances with whatever rap that might be. There are quite a few routes jumbled below this point. DO NOT RAP OFF OF THE RUSTY BOLTS AND HANGERS ON THE LIP OF THE LEDGE. Dark Shadows, 5.8, 12 Pitches, Mescalito, Red Rocks, NV, March, 2010
