2. LICENSE TO CLIMB EXTENSION - 7c 32 m, 17 Bolts, Lee Cujes 2009 The extension is not often repeated since rock and bolt quality are quite bad.

⁕ 3. NIGHTRIDER (aka THE FACE) - 7b 30 m, 14 Bolts, FA Tim Emmett 2003 It‘s safer to share the first few meters of License to Climb rather than climbing the brittle rock at the base of the original route. A climber with good endurance will cruise through an amazing sequence of pinches to the high crux. The last 3 meters of the climb become difficult, requiring good technique, intuition, and a hidden reserve of power. Oh, it’s also a bit run out. 4. PHOTO SOLO NO MORE - 5b 12 m, 8 Bolts, FA Unknown Smear up the slab for some amazing photos.
