    This looks like a good addition to the wall and appropriately separated from the existing routes.

    If there is a stance at the proposed belay, why not put in the anchor and still ‘finish’ the climb to the Friday’s ledge?
    Seems like a good line, but why not just make it go?

    To the above question, the FA party contacted me and answered:
    “(We) deliberated a long time about where to end the route. I originally imagined that the route would end at the eyebolt on the ledge. But there are a few disadvantages to extending the route that far.
    · The climbing is not too exciting above our proposed anchors.
    · It’s nearly impossible to pull the rope through the eyebolt, so lowering and belaying would be difficult.
    · The proposed location for the anchor makes the route doable with a 60 m rope. ”

    That makes sense to me and I vote ‘yes’ on this route.

    Looks like a great line and a nice addition to the west side of the Third — a good companion route to the West Buttress. Vote yes.
