Climb the corner crack and roof between the two pillars. Climb up crack trending right. Then straight up to left facing corner. Plug gear at the top of the corner and head way left on wild jug traverse. Mantle up and climb cracks to the ridge line. Exposed and awesome. Haul the bag if you can on this pitch.
Hey Rich.
From looking at the Katabatic topo looks like we were to the left again.
We were left of the big diagonal roof, first pitch was only 18 max and then we climbed a series of overhangs on red rock. Last pitch climbs a steep crack and roof to the summit, Which is 20m left of the “red rib” described in the katabatic topo.

Cool. So much space on that wall!
I think this is more or less the same line as Katabatic?
Katabatic was previously wrongly shown here & in the Homer new routes book as being right of Parallel Lines but it is apparently the line of red rock to the left of Parallel.
