Quicksilver right. If you use two ropes you can back the pegs up with gear in
the crack to the right. There are chain anchors at the top. The first half of
this route survives unscathed. Great moves via the piton give a sense that
all is well at the Monument. Unfortunately, the top half of the route has now
FALLEN OFF, presumably an earthquake casualty. This is not entirely clear
from the ground, most of the giant yellow gash hidden by other features. But
once in the thick of it, amongst loose rock and soil looking for something
solid to use as protection, it's clear that this route needs a lot of
aftershocks or some seriously heavy rain to shake all the detritus off it and
reveal some lovely bedrock once more!
