Description 

This is located in Main Gully Amphitheater and it unreliable, but if its in it is defiantly worth a try. This is the left most climb in the Amphitheater and is to the left of Evil Twin.

Pitch 1: The first couple of moves are the hardest. It is recommended that your belay is close and is anchored into the rock. Climb the remaining 90 feet and have fun.

Decent: You can either do a double rope rappel of a small tree at the top or you can walk over to Main Gully.

Location 

From the parking lot facing the cliff walk left to Main Gully. Climb the first two pitches of Main Gully and Pencil will be the furthest climb to the left. Traverse out onto a ledge and belay from there.

Protection 

Standard Ice Rack, Items to build a good anchor to belay off of at the bottom of the climb.
