Head up and right over blocky terrain nearly around the right side of the bulging Murdock Wall. Ideally extend the second clip to avoid drag. Continue up easy terrain until you pull left onto the slabby business. Quest up and left through well-protected, quality, and consistent slab and overlaps to the chains. Hang on until the chains...a true calf-burner!

The Invitation

Papillon

Leprosy Arete

Butterfly Effect

Leprosy Arete is an alternate second pitch of Papillion. Start the second pitch of Papillon, and break left onto a slab. Follow broken finger cracks to a blocky, short chimney where the anchor is. Lower from here to the anchor below, and rap to the ground with a 60m rope.

P1 (5.8) - start toward the left of Murdock Wall at the base of a big, right-facing chimney/corner formed by a detached pillar. Head up the corner stemming toward a bolt 25' up on the face to the right of the pillar. From here, head up and left passing a few bolts and placing gear. Be careful of some hollow rock. A short thoughtful slabby moment on dark rock leads to more fun, juggy terrain and bolted anchors above.P2 (5.9) - aim for the right edge of the roof above the anchors, and head onto a ledge. Follow cracks up and left toward a chimney that leads to the anchor!Do two raps to descend.

This is a placeholder for now. I'll add a better description later. I just don't want any more random peeps uploading routes I established!

Murdock Wall has some quality long, lower angle routes surrounded by a maze of endangered plants. Please stay on the marked trails, and tread lightly.
