Looking for something a little more exciting than New Wave, Will headed up
the first pitch of Everlasting (5.8+). The climb starts up the low
gully above Will and utilizes a very small tree for pro (you can just make
it out left of Will's helmet). Frank claimed that the tree had a
"taproot to china!", but we have our doubts. I think tying it off is
more of a novelty than actual protection--it's pretty darn small.
Above that the climb steepens and had some pretty spicy face climbing
protected by one bolt and then some small nuts that you can sneak into a
crack on your right. It was a real fun climb and I enjoyed following
Will up it.
