As of 2021, there is a new online method for acquiring day and annual passes to Whitesides here: recreation.gov/activitypass…. $3 for a day pass, $15 for an annual pass.
Description
Though a little dirty, this amazing overhanging crack system deserves way more traffic and will clean up nicely if more people get on it. It was originally graded 5.10 but it sure felt every bit 5.11a to me.
P1: Climb easy terrain to crack, follow crack to bushy ledge and belay on gear (guessing 140 feet length)
P2: Continue up cracks to below some blocky roofs, escape on face to the right and continue to the top (guessing 70 feet length)
