Description
The Last Resort is a route that lies on Conehead, a feature at the back of the Cirque of the Moon. It is a good, short free outing on mainly excellent granite with the crux on the first pitch and good protection throughout. The route ends directly under the 'jowls' of Conehead and begins on the clean buttress to the left of the massive (junky) dihedral below. Climb 5.9 crack up through a roof, step left and belay. Amble up 5.7 face to a bolt below a ledge where another large crack begins arcing left to a ledge. Pitch 3 traverses right from this ledge to a 5.8 chimney with a belay at the top. Move up and right on mostly easy ground (with one stupid hard move) through vegetation to gain a steep trough descending from the left. Third and 4th class lead to the rim.
