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. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

This is the new route just right (kind of) of Endless Torment. It starts in the crack, and then works right to the bolt. It continues up the right side past 2 pitons and 3 more bolts, as it angles left just above the crux of Endless Torment. Whereas the climbing below has been straightforward low 5.10 climbing, after you cross the crux of Endless Torment, the climbing becomes extremly heady. The lack of climbers on this great route keep the holds un-chalked, so the sequence may require YOU to think. Although, after my foray up this route this afternoon, there is a lot more chalk than there was. This is a worthy diversion if Pentapitch/Sasquatch are busy.

Protection 

1 bolt, followed by 2 pitons, followed by 5 bolts.
