The Flying None

Pitch

• P15.7-1m

  Route description from the [Mud 'N Crud Web Forum](http://www.mudncrud.com/forums/index.php?topic=3025.msg51412#msg51412): **Pitch One, 5.6 (115 feet):** The groove/crack is 65 feet high; climb in it, to its right, then in it again. Protection consists of three bolts, slung knobs and gear (1½ to four inches and, optionally, one each one and five inch). Continue up a blunt buttress past four more bolts to a three-bolt anchor (seven lead bolts total). **Pitch Two, 5.7 (85 feet):** Climb the face above past 11 bolts. Finish at a three-bolt anchor below a headwall. **Pitch Three, 5.7 (95 feet):** Two bolts protect the headwall. Two more bolts protect low angle climbing to a fifth bolt on a short section of steeper rock (the fifth bolt is 12 feet right from the top anchor of Costanoan’s third pitch). A sixth bolt protects the rest of the steep section. One more bolt and slung knobs protect easier climbing to a stance and a two-bolt anchor. **Pitch Four, 5.3 (55 feet):** Climb a knobby face up and slightly right. Finish at a two-bolt anchor on top of The Citadel (this anchor is 10 feet west of Costanoan’s fourth pitch top anchor; yes it's only ten feet west but it is needed so that parties can rappel this route after doing it instead of rappelling Costanoan - that route already has massive and often simultaneous up and down traffic). Protection for this pitch consists of two bolts and slung knobs.
