Dancing on the Astral Plane

Rating: M6, WI6
Length: 25 meters, 1 pitch

The single best pitch of true mixed climbing I have ever been on in SC AK!! Climb past five bolts on overhanging rock to gain the hanging dagger and delicately climb the wild blobs and drips.

FA: Amos Swanson, John Giraldo and friends, 2017

Descent: V-thread to return to the normal plane.
