Route Info
The route is located in the Shepherd's cave to the right of the adjacent cave containing a save point. It follows a simple vertical crack upwards with 3 interesting rests before entering the overhanging crux resembling the real Silence 9c crux. I had a lot of fun figuring out a beta going feet first in the middle of the crux to recover stamina using an active rest before finishing the sequence, but Brute found an optimized beta by smearing with hands and moving fast with the footholds available to get through it with no chalk. Be careful of the game glitching out on the top out if you move too far right. There are pictures showing both methods, and the video is my own attempt. I would highly recommend going through this climb blind and seeing what is possible!
