3 Rubicon Direct #2

Straight up the slashed face into Rubicon’s finger crack.

5.11+ R Trad 92ft
4 Rubicon

The obvious line of the wall. Up the fist and hand crack to the imposing but easy traverse and brilliant finger crack above. A double rack will see you through. Back cleaning the gear until you get to the finger crack or climbing on double ropes will be the best way to mitigate rope drag.

5.10d Trad 110ft
5 Seizure

Start up the hand crack as for Rubicon but then quest out on to the blank face above passing 5(?) bolts.
