Living on the Edge, 5.10c

Living on the Edge, 5.10c

3rd Pitch- 70’- 5.10c/ An interesting pitch for sure. Move out right and up making the crux move between the 2nd and 3rd bolt. A rightward balancing slab move on a sandy surface. The issue with this crux is that if you miss it, you could deck your ankles on a small ledge beneath. Continue up trending left to easier ground. After another decent move at the grade, you find yourself at the base of a precarious sandstone flake that you will have little confidence in. Do not pull out, make sure to reach and pull down as you mantle the flake to its top and continue with nice holds to the fixed station above in a small alcove. Unfortunately if this flake ever does blow, this section of the pitch will probably have to be aided.
