Description
Not sure exactly how far north of Wiessner's Dike to start, but 100ft give or take 20ft is probably ok. Look for a slab in newly exposed rock right at the ground capped by some overlaps maybe 40ft up. You want to ascend the slab and traverse to the left below the overlaps and exit around a corner onto a slab. You should see a bolt on an obvious ramp leading left. After the bolt it's another 40 ft to the belay in some flakes (bolts).
The second pitch climbs up and left of the belay through a series of flake systems to a slab move(5.8). Head left a bit more to an obvious line(some munge)then straight up for 40 ft or so, and then back right to what remains of the original belay ledge(2 bolts).
The third pitch is unchanged, except the corner immediately after the
slab crux (9-) sustained some damage. This pitch ends at a nice ledge which allows you to traverse left into Wiessner's.
P-4 and P-5 go straight up towards Weisner's corner, grassy belay for P-4, hanging belay for P-5 or you can belay from a ledge by a tree 20 feet lower
P-6 finish up Weisner's Corner and belay off old man remnants
pitch 1 is about 160 feet, pitch two is about 90 feet, pitches 3,4 and 5 are full rope length pitches (200 feet), and pitch 6 is about 120 feet
Be careful of loose rock, especially on the middle pitches
