South Diagonal, 5.8 A0

South Diagonal, 5.8 A0

3rd Pitch- 150’- 5.8/This pitch is probably the shortest on the route, but I put them all to average about 150’. I never felt like the climbing was more difficult than 5.7. The crux is not where they placed four or five bolts running straight up, but the sketchy unprotected traverse out right to the next station. Definitely place a double runner on that last bolt to avoid rope drag, particularly since you are traversing on loose sandy slab.
