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 

After you clear the roof on Sasquatch, step right, and I mean STEP. There is a nice chickenhead there, and your first clip. Here is where the fun begins. Very thin moves and minute crystals lead to a tenuous second clip. A little bit of rightward movement will allow the climbing to easxe up to the flake with the pin. From here the climbing eases to a hard 9 easy 10, but still holds your attention, with a bit more space between the pin, the bolt, and the anchors. A very enjoyable route, not intended to be climbed on hot muggy days, like today.

Protection 

Littlefoot shares the beginning with Sasquatch, so bring your Sasquatch gear. It also shares the anchors. It has 3 bolts and a pin of it's own.
