Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Long route that has it all. Highball face climbing leads to the first piece of gear. Head left around a roof, then up a nice hand crack. Up and right to a small roof (pulling roof is great fun). Up friable face climbing past two bolts (crux). Belay at ledge or climb up the hand crack for a nice finish. Watch rope drag across the rough rock. Use slings and it is highly recommended to back-clean the first pieces in the first roof traverse.

Walk left from belay (40') to bolted rap anchor. 100' rope stretcher rappel.

Location 

Lower tier at Stonewall Peak.

Protection 

The whole gamut. Small Aliens to med-large cams.
