Description There are three cracks on the west face of the Throne with anchors at their top, though we only had time to climb the left two. There is a fantastic belay ledge that comfortably fit four climbers. The anchor on the 5.9+ crack consists of a good looking bolt and a brand new pink tricam (I replaced the rotten pinky originally there) equalized through two rap rings. The anchor on the 5.10 layback is webbing over a bomber horn and two 'biners.
Protection Cams with doubles of 0.75, 1, and 2. Set o' nuts. The cracks take bomber gear all the way up.

| Great cracks for rest day cragging. It looks like you could push the routes higher if you wanted to make a go at the west face itself. |

| The rightmost of three cracks, not described here, is an excellent 5.10b/c corner with a fun roof just before the anchor (3/8" bolt and equalized nut). |
