An alternate finish up the Salamander wall, Leuci takes a direct line up an attractive white streak for 2 pitches from Salamander Ledge to treeline.
Pitch 1 (shared with Salamander) - 5.9 friction, 6 bolts, 40m - find the starting ledge and first anchors, then climb past 6 bolts using friction and face features.
Pitch 2 - 5.10 friction, 10 bolts, 70m - sustained friction climbing past 10 bolts, starting off a friendly flake and rising directly up a faint white streak.
Pitch 3 - 5.10- friction, 5 bolts, 50m - similar climbing, less sustained - continue up the white streak on friction and small face features. Protection where you need it, run out at the top where it's easier.
All bolts, rap rings at every belay, approach as for Salamander, walk-off the Upper Bluffs trail.
