Leaves and Grass variation

5.9+, Trad, 70 ft (21 m),  Avg: 3 from 1 vote
FA: Geoff Georges, Courtney Blodgett
Washington > Central-W Casca… > Skykomish Valley > Index > Inner Walls > E Side > (e) Gilligan's Toe

Description

The variation starts with chimneying up the face and giant boulder. Once on the comfortable ledge above the crack and bolt #5, go right around the arete to the anchors of Cascade Torrent. Look for a good hold to help with moving around the corner. 

The original, much harder, climb goes straight up the bolts on the face.

Location

Look for the chimney created by the boulder and face.

Protection

5 bolts, #0.5 - #3 gear for the crack and a #1 for the section between bolt 5 and the anchors.
