Ridin’ High
Description
Hands down, the best five I’ve climbed in the Supes, awkward and sustained (sans climbing shoes), perhaps sandbagged. Much better than The Grope on Vertigo Spire’s southwest face and slightly more physical than Monster Mash. Perhaps best variation to avoid rope drag at corner is to finish with Wailing Banshee's funky groove at its final bolt.
First ascent
Protection
Cams, nuts and several long runners. Two bolt belay. About 60m rap of The Bronc or two bolt, single line (~50m) rap above Wailing Banshee.
Route starts at the far-right side of the wall’s base. Follow left-arching dihedral crack past littered boulder bowl. Gain face and traverse lichen slab left below Wailing Banshee overhang to corner. Step around prow and finish last wide crack system of The Bronc. Proper rope management with runners is critical or drag will be a problem once turning the corner.
