Description
Negative Ghostrider is a fun climb. It is the southernmost climb on the west face of The Watchman. Climbing consists of mostly finger to fist sized cracks, with a bit of chimney as well. Rock ranges from solid to choss, with most being pretty good. All in all we had a blast on this route, with cool features, engaging climbing, and most belays at comfy stances.
Descent by rapping the route is surprisingly straight forward.
Be aware that there is a huge detached flake atop pitch 3. There is a bolted belay in bomber rock above the flake, but you are basically standing on it with your belayer straight below.
The topo in the Bird guide is right on, although we did link pitches 4-6.
