Windy Corner at Torrent

Post by goodguy »

Does anyone know anything about the "R" rating on Windy Corner? I was going to get on it this weekend but I was unsure if I was supposed to stop and walk off left at the first ledge about 15ft. after the crack stops or climb all the way to the top and walk off?
Oh man, he is messing that up. However, he is missing his left leg so that way would probably be harder for him. SCIN, just before spraying some beta for a climber doing a route the WRONG way.

Most folks just climb the first half to the bolt and fixed wire and bail. If you do the final fingercrack and face to the top, it's an R.

Is stopping at the first set of anchors pretty much the end of the route??

Physically, yes.
Mentally, no.

does it go to the first ledge with the bush and stop, or to the ledge and then even higher to the top?
