Description
P-1 150' 5.7 Find cracks which diagonal to the left aiming for a large ledge with bushes. Trad anchor. I noticed a rap station to the far left on the ledge. Single rack to 3". There are several possible starts to this pitch, all about the same difficulty.
P-2 5.10a 100' Climb off the ledge app 20' and move right into the obvious hand and fist cracks. Good sustained crack climbing to the bolt anchor. Double rack to 3"
P-3 75' to 100' 5.11a Traverse right into some cracks and up to several bolts. At the last bolt swing around the buttress and into the thin crack (crux). Now don't be fooled, sustained 5.10 climbing continues to the anchor. Thin wires and small cams is all you get through this section so you better be good at placing gear from hard stances. At last you get to a very cool alcove with good medium cam placements which makes for an outstanding belay spot. Or continue another 25' to the bolt anchor of Indian Summer. Doubles thru 2", small offset wires and small offset cams to 1".
P-4 70' 5.6 Meander up and right through ledges with occasional pro to the large boulder on top. Several rap stations around the top for different descents.
