Description Suggest change

This would be a solid fun route but it's missing protection.

P1 Starts on The Trough, take it to the lone pine on the left where some people belay for P1 of The Trough.

P2 Go straight up to a 20 ft flaring seam, there's some gear to start but soon there isn't. I got a good small X4, the smallest red one, and then ran it out a bit, then stepped right to a nice jug before the seam disappeared. Probably better to skip the seam and jump back on The Trough for a bit and trend left into a small corner system. There's a nice ledge under a small head wall for a gear belay. *****THERE"S A SCARY 3FT FLAKE AT THE END OF THIS PITCH HELD ON WITH SOME WEBBING, DON'T TOUCH!!!*****

P3 The money pitch, from the belay go right, over the scary flake to a left facing flake. Get on another ledge and then make a funky move to turn the corner right, to a great stance. There's a classic, albeit unprotected mantle that brings you to easier moves and then a lone 1/4 bolt with an aluminum hanger (no bueno). 10d moves over the bolt get you to a juggy left facing flake, past a nut and piton anchor (skip it) and then amazing jamming straight up through the roof.

P4 5.7 climbing to finish on Piton Pooper or Upper Royals Arch.

Location Suggest change

Start on Trough, then climb the formation left, through the left side of the obvious roof.

Protection Suggest change

Standard rack, one bad bolt.
