Description
This is a very fun line that lies on the SW and S faces of Rockfellow. The climb has good rock and interesting climbing, particularly on the first two pitches.
Pitch 1 (130', 5.11): Climb the thin crack protected by bolts and gear. Ends at a two bolt anchor next to a right-leaning ramp.
Pitch 2 (120', 5.10+): Go up the right leaning ramp, then climb straight up a water streak with chickeheads. Bear right following bolts to a two bolt hanging belay.
Pitch 3 (85', easy 5th class): From the hanging belay move directly right to a flat platform, then head slightly downhill and slightly right for about 30'. Clip a bolt and make exposed moves along a ledge for another 30' or so. A two bolt anchor will be on the main dome up and to your left.
Pitch 4 (5.11, 140'): Follow bolts up and left. Work through the crux and continue up on easier ground to a two bolt anchor.
Pitch 5 (5.10, 65'): Follow bolts up to a two bolt anchor.
Pitch 6 (5.11, 65'): Climb bolts on the face to your left to the top.
Descent:
Rap to the top of pitch 5, then rap 150' straight down parallel to the route to a pair of anchors right of pitch 4, rap 85' down and right to a pair of anchors located by the labyrinth. Then rap 130' to the ground.
