Meteor Fall

Does anyone know much about this route? I think I climbed it but I'm not for sure.

Splitter crack just left of Full Moon...don't think there are great top rope anchors and it looks very R-rated.

I set up a top rope on a large horn at the top. I had to hop a chimney to get to it. I know it is the route left of Full Moon but I don't really know where Full Moon is. The route was a splitter that died out about twenty feet from the top. A top out looked possible but I bailed after the crack ranout. The guide says to traverse right but I was wondering two things.
1.Is a top out possible?
2.Could anchors go at the top of the splitter?

It tops out. No anchors...for more than one reason.

Full Moon is in the massive corner on the opposite end from the approach.
The chimney you hopped with the fist crack in one side is the last pitch.

Is there any chance for pro after the crack ends or is that the reason for the R rating?

I'm gonna guess the answers are no, and yes.

While you're in the area, put a top rope on Meteor Maker. It's kinda fun.
