Description
My Memory is a bit sketchy on some of the pitches....feel free to offer corrections....
P1 11b slabby, bolt protected face crux starting off of a platform.
P2 11b Thin, left arching crack undercling/layback. Lots of fixed gear
P3 10a Slightly flaring thin corner,
P4 Big Traverse.
P5 10a Cool 10a arete/bulge move following by incredible 5.8 climbing, on atypically Yosemite sculpted jugs which turn out to be the trademark of the climb. Pay attention here, easy to get on the wrong crack.
Link Pitches 6&7 with a 70m rope(68m)....but save some gear for the anchor!
P6+P7 11c Long thin stemming corner with a oddly placed anchor at the crux. This will be the route crux for most. This anchor is not the end, keep going past the crux to the belay ledge above. With a 70m, you will have little rope to spare.
P8 11c A fantastic short but strenous 30' (?) overhanging hand and finger crack;
P9 7 Traverse to move belay.
P10 10b Delicate 10 face moves to a nice 5.8 crack.
P11 10b Incredibly beautiful pitch -- a lot of it steep. uncharacteristic well placed gigantic jugs and gorgeous rock..
P12 5.8 Easy climbing on face and cracks
P13 9 Another fun jug-ridden pitch.
-Link pitches 14 & 15 w 70m rope-
P14 10d Great steep thin crack then delicate face.
P15 7 classic long 5.7 corner pitch
P16 2nd class move to the other end of the Thanksgiving ledge.
P17 - 20 forgettable and rambling mid 5th....pick your poison The "route" effectively is over after Thanksgiving Ledge....we soloed out.
