Description Suggest change

A modern Gaines classic. Hard to believe he's still finding such gems in a "climbed out" area like Josh.

P1- climb a hand crack in a slab (5.8) about 30' down (closer to the road) from the Iconoclast arete. Belay on a big ledge.

P2- Make steep face moves on incredible varnish straight up past 4-5 bolts (5.10+). After 50' or so the bolts wander left, and the rock becomes less steep and more frictiony. Make engaging slab moves straight up past several more bolts (5.10). Belay on another ledge. A classic pitch.

P3- For a 3rd pitch, from the right side of the ledge, climb an easy crack (the top of Orange Flake) up to a  "V-notch."  From here, down climb 40 feet off the backside (4th class) then rap from a 2-bolt anchor (100 feet) to get down.
