● Upper Right Ski Track
Jun 5, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. SUPER sick little trough climb, I think a fantastic full value climb for a new leader. Gear is abundant but thoughtful, some spicy exposure moments but then right back to mega safety, I think make this a fantastically fun adventure for a blossoming new trad leader Approached via Beginners 3 on backside. Also built an anchor out of a diagonal crack in a boulder back about 25 feet and left of the crest
