Perdida 5.12-/5.11+ 2 pitches – 160 feet. First pitch (80 feet) 5.12-, 14 bolts to chain anchors at top of flake. Difficult moves off the ground lead to a series of cruxes requiring a wide variety of climbing techniques. Second pitch (80 feet) 5.11+ 14 bolts to chain anchors (fifty feet below actual summit). Ascend the white/grey face following the line of bolts up a right-trending line of chert, then follow a crack system (climbing left and right of the bolt line as needed) up the right shoulder of the Stone Temple.

This is an amazing line and you should find it challenging and interesting from top to bottom!

At the base of the big wall of Stone Temple, currently the farthest left route on the lower face.

Excellent climbing up a face with chert features. The climbing is consistent at 5.10.

Climb directly above the 1st pitch anchors of "The Art of Letting Go".  Follow a right trending line on thin grey limestone and some chert holds to the top anchors of "The Art of Letting Go".

First pitch - 5.10+  follow the line of bolts up the face to the gray face and anchors above. Climbing is very sequential and strenuous for the grade.

Second pitch - 5.10 climb the crack above to chain anchors

OR : 5.11 climb the face just left of the crack/crevice above the first pitch.

Start on a narrow grassy ledge with a belay bolt.  Move up to a shallow overlap on grey rock.  Make thin undercling/side pull moves until gaining some good chert holds about a third the way up the climb.  Follow good but widely spaced chert holds up and right to a very thin section of grey rocks.  Continue up on micro runnels and shallow finger pockets to a slabby thin move to gain the anchors which are just below a ledge on the top of a broad pillar..

The left-most route on Stone Temple goes up just to the right of the prominent black streak that separates Dark Side of the Moon from Stone Temple.  It is approximately 100 feet of excellent climbing on solid limestone and chert.

P1:  5.7 climb up and right to a left facing dihedral and stem up to a nice ledge and the mid-point chain anchors 75ft.

P2:  5.9  start up  and left of the mid-point anchors (straight up and trending slightly right is "Hold On Loosely But Don't Let Go").  Climb the weaknesses to the top anchors - 90 ft. The second pitch is outstanding climbing for 5.9 - steep with holds and protection where you want them!
