27m / 90ft, 6 bolts

Description:

*update has been recently retrobolted, no more run outs*
This route climbs the big left facing dihedral just left of The Sword. Make good use of some crack dihedral climbing to a standing ledge halfway up. Follow the sharp crack up to the top where you can chimney a bit to reach the anchor. There are a few loose stones towards the finish. Ignore the old anchor and finish on the newer anchor of The Sword.
Be very careful of the huge loose rock after the final bolt before the anchor. It looks like a juggy hold in a crack but it's actually a vertical loose rock in a wider crack.

    Not sure how this was a 5.9- in the book. I onsighted the sword just afterwards but thought this climb was tougher than the second half of the Sword. Brutally sandbagged.

    Nice stemming and a fun climb all around but I got mixed up and thought this was supposed to be the 10c Indus. We both thought it was stiff even for 10c, more like 10d. Then realized it was the 5.9-! Lol I don't know what planet this is a 5.9, but I have rarely seen something more sandbagged.
