Description Suggest change

V1 climbing onto the ledge takes you up to a rock you stand on to place a #3 with a runner back in the crack. Prepare for battle as you fight the awkward angle leaning to the right using a combination of stemming, jamming and liebacking to an obvious ledge rest as the crack gets narrower. Pull onto the ledge and get 80% back before doing a difficult boulder problem ending with a move to a sloper on the apex of the left wall and then a bump to some excellent jugs to clip the anchor. 5 Star route on 5 star rock.

Location Suggest change

The obvious corner with a two bolt anchor next to the classic O.W. 1096.


Follow the mirror lake trail past the royal arches area until you see a wash to walk up just east of the backpackers campground.

RPs for finish (can also use tiny cams here). One fixed wire as of 2024.
