Description
This is the longest roped climb in the area I've done. 13 pitches. 2300 feet of mostly very moderate climbing. It goes quickly since you don't use much pro, max was 5 pieces in a pitch. This starts at the nadir of the Slab and goes to the very top of the Slab.
Note, the X section is 5.6 X. The 5.9- bit is well-protected.
The 1st pitch is a wee bit runout. Fire up a 5.6 slab straight up. The 1st piece of pro is about 180 feet up. Then you continue to 200 feet to a belay. From here, angle up to basically follow this contour on the Slab. There is a fair bit of 4th Class slabbing here. The 6th pitch involved a 100 foot 5.7 downclimb as you cross onto a lower strata. The 8th pitch involves a 5.9- crux downclimb. On the 11th pitch, you start going up as you approach the left end of the Slab. The 13th & final pitch is a 5.8 bit to the very top.
Downclimb this last bit to exit the climb.
This is an adventure of sorts.
