Do not cross the pipe by the pumphouse. MORE INFO >>> Little Cottonwood Access Update Despite "no trespassing" signs climbers have been observed crossing the creek on the pipe at the traditional (pumphouse) parking for the Pentapitch/Coalpit areas. This pipe crossing is dangerous and a slip could be fatal. This area is privately owned and the SLCA has a positive relationship with the landowner. The bridge near Lisa falls is the preferred location to cross the creek. Down-canyon, the bridge leading to the south side near the Buzz bouldering area has been condemned by the Forest Service. Signs have been posted promising fines for tresspassers. We ask that you obey these signs and find an alternate route to your destination. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

Description 

Start at the top of the first pitch of Endless Torment. Diagonal up & left to a sharp edged crack leaning left. Climb this for 8' to it's end. Diagonal back right (TCU's) along a dike to 2 bolts. Follow these to the top. This short route is well worth doing, but not as classic as the second pitch of Endless Torment.
