Sisyphus Summits, 5.10d

12th-14th Pitches- 70m- 5.9+/ Combining these three pitches involved a full 70m rope length along with considerable rope drag. This is where the wall breaks away from the steep hard terrain below. Take a fun right facing corner up to a huge ledge. Traverse slightly right and locate a station on the wall above you. Aim for that, clipping at least one bolt along the way or skipping it to avoid the eventual rope drag. Mount an interesting block to clip the next station and then overcome several 5.9+ moves to easier ground above and stretch for the top of the 14th pitch.
