Comment
The High Life is another stellar route in the lower to mid grades. Combining this route with the route Areta Fantastica or Switchbroom makes it a fantastic rock day high above the deep Jorden River Valley. For all these routes you can use the same rappelling route, either Areta Fantastico or Rapattack, depending on which routes you use to finish up your day.
Route
Climb the first pitch of Goldrush (5.10a 25m) to get to the starting ledge (anchor) of The High Life. From this ledge climb diagonally up to the right into a left facing corner feature. Follow this corner feature to the belay at a ledge.
Finishing up your climb:
A) Climb the 3rd pitch of Rapattack (5.10c 32m)
B) Rappel to the Base Ledge and climb an easier route, leading to the top of the Jordan River Walls (Areta Fantastica 5.9 3 pitches, Switchbroom 5.8 2 pitches and the top pitch of Areta Fantastica.
