Description Suggest change

Pitch 1: Climb up the face to a small ledge.  Take the path of least resistance off of the ledge until you're situated below the roof and next to the left-facing corner.  Creative but good pro is available before pulling into the stance below the roof.  Pull the roof and continue up the slab until you reach a wide horizontal capped by a small roof.  Surmounting the roof is the crux.  Continue up to the ledge and walk right to the Blistered Toe anchors.


Pitch 2 (from szheng): Head up on easy ground to the base of the steep orange wall. Climb more or less straight up for about 30-40' on perfect crimps, avoiding the lower quality rock to the left. Join the right facing corner, place some tricky gear, and prepare for the boulder problem at the roof. Dirty top out on jugs to a cord anchor around a tree with steel rap rings.

Guidebook says "what a sleeper!" and I have to agree. Sustained face movement on beautiful stone with a spice factor! More people should do this route. Do it in one pitch from the ground, rope drag is hardly an issue. Bring doubles in finger sizes.

Location Suggest change
