Description 

North 40 is a wonderful little number that dances up the seam just right of the start of High Planes Poser. Begin a few feet right of H.P.P.. and climb up featured rock to a fun finger crack/ seam with excellent feet. This is more a direct variation to H.P.P. than an independent pitch as it shares the last 7 bolts or so of the first pitch of H.P.P..

For much added fun round up as many draws as you can + a couple slings, and link North 40 into the 2nd pitch of H.P.P. for a 4 star 185 foot pitch!

Location 

North 40 is located on the far left side of the crag ranch off of the Sun Deck Ledge. Just right of the "arete" of High Planes Poser.

Protection 

11? bolts for P1.
25? bolts to link P1 & 2?
(You can easily back clean several draws.)
