High-X

A fun and clever route for those seeking some moderate terrain up at Profile.  Takes on the overhanging buttress which defines the left side of the main climbing arena.  Not apparent at first glance, High-X weaves its way up underneath the large roof, and gains the top of the buttress on unobvious, moderate moves.  I wouldn't call the gear abundant, but with a combination of steady trad skills and a couple of fixed pins, you can lead this route without incident.  But you will be thrilled and tested a little!  

The line is a little jagged, and there are blocks and a large roof, so mind your extensions accordingly.   Nice 2-bolt anchor at the top.  Be prepared to belay your follower up, because the rope will be running over a bunch of lips and edges which will disrupt any weighted lowerings.

Shares a start with Natural High.  Around 30 feet up you'll need to find your way onto the buttress that looms over you on your left.  The line is there, but it takes a little ingenuity and confidence to figure it out.

Trad gear, single rack should suffice. A couple of fixed pins. Bring some extension.
