Description
P1: Start in the corner, finding some bolts hidden among the moss. Follow bolts up, then right onto slabby cleaner rock. Belay from a 2 bolt anchor at a good ledge next to a tiny tree.
P2: Head out on the slabby face. Climb steepens about mid-way (crux). Belay from 2 bolt anchor on good ledge at the mouth of a large chimney feature.
P3: Move onto the face and trend right on the slab. Go up the right side of the slab, then left on a short ramp toward the notch between the 2 parts of the pinnacle's summit. Belay from new bolt anchor with chains in notch (or on the summit).
Descent: Rap the route in 3 raps with a 60m rope. Each belay station has rap rings. One 60m (ie 2-rope) rappel will also reach the ground in a single rappel.
An alternative rappel from the summit north into a notch where the pinnacle connects with the hillside is also described. This alternative must be possible since I found the chains oriented in that direction when I arrived at the summit, despite the bolts obviously being oriented back towards the route. The old hardware still exists on the summit.
Location
Access by a faint climber's trail that starts on the west-most side (climber's left) of the turn out and immediately goes east (climber's right) across a small rocky wash out. You should be able to pick up the trail again. If you find yourself going directly up a loose rocky gully, you probably turned too soon before finding the path.
