Description
P1: 5.10+ pg
Great but difficult to protect hands to fingers up a thin flake system. Continue up the crack system to a few airy and fun thin fingers moves over a short roof. Climb past the star drive and belay at a small ledge with one modern bolt.
P2: 5.10
The crack widens and the gear becomes more confidence inspiring. Belay at a big ledge with two star drives. Back them up with #2 Camalot. Or was it #1?
P3:
Walk across the big ledge around the boulder for 20ft. A three bolt belay is around the corner. At least one of them is a modern bolt
P4: 5.9
Cruise straight up to another two bolt anchor on a big ledge. Watch out for the damn cactus up there.
P5: 5.7
Short set of moves past pins gains the pine tree belay. Watch rope drag.
P6: 5.11+ or A0+
Bolt ladder to the summit. First bolt is missing a hanger. Do a few free moves to get past the gap in bolts higher up.
