Description Suggest change

This climb is located on the slab/face BELOW the Half-Way Tree Ledge and starts on the ground at the base of the cliff...the Sandwich Range Wilderness.

While listed as "1 pitch climb" it is necessary to climb a second pitch on the "upper slab" to reach the normal access point...the top of the cliff.

ACCESS - Rap with two ropes from the 3/8" bolt (with gear back-up) at the top of Ringwraith to the double bolt anchor/station at the Half-Way Ledge. From here rap with two 60m ropes to the bottom of the cliff. (a 60m and a 50m probably will make it if the knot is moved several feet down from the anchors)

P1 - Start on the ground below 2 or 3 easy overlaps.
Climb up and over the easy overlaps and then pad up easy slab 25-35 ft to a detached flake on the right with a more secure flake above; the more secure forms a left-facing shallow corner. Continue up this on good rock to a crack (crux, photo, "upper part of route"), then step left and up to the double bolt anchor/station on the Half-Way Ledge. 190 ft  5.6 PG-13 

Finish on one of the routes on the Upper Slab, Ringwraith is suggested if you haven't done it.

Location Suggest change

On the lower slab of the cliff, below the Half-Way tree ledge.

Protection Suggest change

Standard rack, medium (thumb-sized) nuts handy.
