Description

Man of Leisure

is a nice companion to

Lateral Force

and a good line in its own right for proficient 5.9 tradsters.  Start by making several moves up the third-class approach ramp leading to the ledge for

Deltoid Force

then forge up the short prow of a reddish wall, an arm-span left of a broken pillar maybe five feet tall (the broken pillar is completely detached, so don’t use it for pro).  After about 20 feet up the prow, catch a right-leaning seam with good cam pods to a big ledge. The ledge can serve as a decent belay for those inclined to shorter pitches. From the ledge move right and up into a steepening shallow dihedral that fades to an airy arête. Easy face above past a pin ends at the anchors. (The shallow dihedral and face above are also the upper and easier part of

Deltoid Force

.)

Location

Approach as for

Deltoid Force

.

Protection

Standard trad rack to a No. 2 Camalot. Include a runner suitable for slinging a blocky protrusion on the prow. Rappel (60m) back to the ledge from the anchors.
