Description Suggest change

Another well put together Baker Route, adventurous but never too far out there. All Free.

Walk around to the lookers right of the formation when viewed from parking at Las Sal Mountain Viewpoint. This route follows the obvious cleft on the East face directly below the tallest summit.

P1: Climb a chossy chimney to the large ledge on the bedding seam, this pitch can easly be combined with the next. 5.8 40'+/-

P2: Up the chinmey, passing some big loose blocks to a fixed belay deep in the chimney. This pitch would be easier if it wasen't so sandy 5.9. 70'+/-

P3: Make some exposed moves right to gain the great hand crack fire up 5.10 wide hands to a stance and a fixed angle then thrutch up the OW (5.10+) and through to the other side of the pillar 5.10+ 70'+/-

P4: Climb the chossy summit pitch no fixed anchors on the summit. 5.8 60+/-

We couldn't find anything to sling so we down lead the last pitch.

Location Suggest change

Downclimb summit pitch (Lame) then make one double rope rap (60m) to the ground.

Protection Suggest change

Singles in C4 from thin fingers to #6 Doubles from .5 - #4, Nuts, A #4 big bro or #9 Valley Giant would take some of the sting out of P3, but we got away with out it.
