Description From the ledge and tree at the half way point climb up and right a few feet. From there is mostly straight up on pretty solid holds. I enjoyed this one. A moderate 5.7.

| Could you imagine Fritz Wiessner climbing it in lug soled boots and having to pound pitons for pro. Fritz was THE MAN!!! |

| I agree with Jay. I think we sometimes forget how cool those guys are. Climbing with hemp ropes and protection that wasn't really protection. In boots! In the snow! In the cold! They are all "the man"! |

| Decent exposure on a steep thin face with pro in horizontal crack. Bring small (0.25-1.25) cams to protect the face. |

| I think that this route (Wiessner face) is visible from the railroad amphitheater across the lake. Is it? I always liked this route just because it's one of the longer (higher)routes in the park. It's been a long time since I climbed, but I still remember it. I haven't been to DL for a few years. I used to go with my son Efrain "Bug" "moke"(passed away[non climbing]) and he and I really liked this route. |
